Re: Was finally able to get one of these potted.
Similar to a couple of mine. What species is it?

Re: Was finally able to get one of these potted.
What species? Hard to say without knowing more. There are several members of the Legume family that make good bonsai and there are an even larger number of Legumes that make poor bonsai. Some are good for accent plantings, some are best left in the field.
Good ones include Acacia and Robinia

I see some seed pods there. Can you describe what the blossoms looked like?

Looking closely I see those yellow things in the photo ARE blossoms. I thought at first they were yellowing leaves. Based on the Virginia location I think it's a Chamaecrista fasciculata, or partridge pea. As to whether it would make a good Bonsai, I get the impression that the trunk is already about as thick as it's going to get.

Do the leaflets close up when you agitate them? That would make it Chamaecrista nictitans, or sensitive plant. I thought they only lived farther south, but the map on the USDA link says otherwise.

They dont close up when agitated...but do close up during hottest part of day and at night.William Feldman wrote:Do the leaflets close up when you agitate them?

The blooms are smaller than a pea.....and have no color other than yellow to them.

Do you think I could overwinter this under T-5 lighting?
