My visit to Miami Tropical Bonsai store

I visited the Miami Tropical Bonsai store this weekend and I'll I can say is wow. The place is amazing, I really recommend going if you can, the people are really nice, love what they do and most importantly know what there doing. They have a superb selection of bonsai and the bonsai are fairly priced.

Here are some pictures:

Good stuff!

You should see if they need summer help, maybe you can get in and learn while making some cash ::just a thought:: Thanks for sharing the visit. Looks like a cool place.

Is the fish pond still there?

What's the third tree? Looks like a real beauty.

Anyone?

Russel,

That is a large Bucida bucera ( black olive ). It's a very common landscape tree here in South Florida. The smaller leafed variety ( Bucida spinosa ) is used more for bonsai than the bucera, because of the leaf size.

Hi Ed.

I kinda thought it looked like a Bucida, but the only one I've ever seen is spinosa - and I knew that wasn't right. Thanks so much for the clarification. That one looks like a big bonsai, but I sure like it!

That tree is actually a cross between a Bucida bucerus and Bucida spinosa named locally as Shady Lady. It, if allowed, grows into a very attractive medium sized landscape tree.
