The now condition of the tree

Hello there. What's the scientific name of this material? Very nice finish.
Hope to see you in Taiwan for the 10th ASPAC Bonsai and Suiseki Conv. [b]

Hi Joe,

The scientific name is Pithecellobium tortum.

See you in ASPAC 10 Taiwan.

Budi

Budi that is absolutely gorgeous. That says it all.

We consider this tree,perfect !
Since the nebari, trunk,until this fantastic ramification!
I cite it like a lesson for us of the Brazil.
Thanks Luciano.

Very nice Budi!

Thanks for showing it to us.

Great tree!! I liked the original, oval pot better but I realize it was perhaps getting a bit small for the tree.

Do you remove the thorns before you work on the tree ?

Harry

Beautiful tree. Thanks for sharing it!!

How does this material differ from the Pithecellobium dulce? Is this the plant that
bear the coiled fruits and edible when ripe? Again, Thanks for sharing.

Ho John,

You are right that an oval pot will be better. The old one is too small and I can not find more suitable pot than what I used now. It is hard to find good ceramic pot in Indonesia.

Hi Harry,

I just do it without removing the thorn.

Hi Joe,

Pithecellobium dulce has different shape of leaves with bigger size compare to that of tortum. Here is the picture I took from my garden.


Budi

Magnificent tree Budi. Thank you for sharing.

I hope you will have some patience of my several inquiries made. The latest photo you sent were two comparison, I guess the top most is the P. dulce and "tamarind like leaves" is the P. tortum?
I am making this clarification for educational purpose. Finally, I agree with the rest that this is a very nice
bonsai.

Nice tree Budi,

It's a fast grower. I forgotten, what is the history of this tree? Was it via India via USA?

Glad you are coming to New Orleans. "Laissez les bons temps rouler!"

Hi Joe,

You are right that in my last picture the upper one is Pithecellobium dulce, where as the lower one is tortum.

Hi Rob,

I got the small tree from cutting from Nikunj Parekh, India in 1995.
I sent some email to your personal email, but never got an answer. Probably they went to the spam.
See you in New Orleans.

Budi

What are the dimensions of your tree?

Libby

I have just returned from Korea attending the international flower show.
Bonsai had a special pavillion. All the ABFF countries were invited. We missed Philippines. Is Bobby still the chairman?
