gassiow at our local show

this is a photo of a gassiow <phyllanthus taxodiifolius beille> that one of our members exhibited at our local show . i thought i,d post it to show how small the leaves will go . i know that when i,v posted pics before they have not been popular because i,v only focused on the amazing trunks and deadwood you can get with this species but the long fern like growth puts people off. so this shows that they will reduce quite well , and will go even smaller .

Very nice specimen john!

So that is the latin name for it. Thanks! I think it is the same as the one we are starting here. I already know they are Phyllantus but not the exact/ specific scientific name.

Are the bark the same as tamarind? with little powdery like flowers?

Phyllanthus I have here looks like these.

The one below is the one we got, the one above is from an imported tree.



The bark looks like this

I was aslo looking at Phyllanthus tenellus.

hi jun, yes the bark is like tamarind in fact even the leaves look the same, difficult to tell them apart the leaf in your picture is not the same however . [img][/img]
