Texas Ebony

From September 12, 2018.

 

While I was first checking out Evergreen, I stumbled across this lil guy in the greenhouse. There was only one of this species, and he was just chilling alone. I immediately saw the bonsai potential in him and swept him up. I got him for $15.

I have attempted to add movement in the branched with wiring, to lower them. I was able to at a bit of curve to the trunk, but I am still unhappy with it. It is too straight and lacks taper. I might do a hard chop down to the last two branches. Frankly though, I’m not brave enough to do that right now.

I love these multi-leaves and that this is a unique yet doable species for bonsai.
