saw this in a nursery. i love the way it looks and am thinking of getting this for myself. i was told diospyros blancoi. can anyone concur?

thank you!

Hello Markanthonylo –

I think you are right about this tree being a Diospyros, but I don’t think it is D. blankoi because of the leaf shape.  D. blankoi has leaves which are pointed at the apex, and yours are rounded.  Because of this your tree looks to me like Diospyros ferrea.  A species which makes a fine bonsai subject.

thanks david. i did further research. indeed this is a diospyros ferrea. locally know as bantolinao in my country.
