Aloha Everyone,

This is actually my first post!  Very excited to be a part of this forum.  I'm fairly new to the art of bonsai with a few trees in my collection for now.  I have attached some photos of a recently acquired bonsai that was given to me from a friend.  A few things to note:


  • I live in Maui


  • Tree was from a local bonsai garden/nursery in Haiku, Maui where there is ALOT of annual rainfall

Welcome to the forum.

It looks like a Serrissa to me but don't take my word for it. I know nothing about tropical plants!

Sorry.

Regards

Richard

After doing a ton of research online, my guess is it's a Kingsville Boxwood. Can anyone confirm?

Yes,welcome to the forum.This is no Boxwood that I am aware of.Definately not Kingsville Box.I know that most species of Box are tropical but,even so,the leaf looks more Azelia than Box.Not guessing that,though.

Sorry for the tiny pic,but it was difficult to find a closeup of just leaves.Your tree has a lanceolate leaf shape with a pronounced point at the apex of the leaf.Kingsville has the typical box leaf which is either rounded or indented at the apex.

Yeah, noticed that. I did some more research on Serissa's and it seems the "tree of a thousand stars". Think I might have a winner.
