Wow, I never though of smoke tree as a bonsai, I am interested now. The burl from this tree's root (known as chittam burl) is one of my most sought after piece before...now my hobbies are making a connection.

Smoke tree is also something I never considered too seriously until I saw this thread and saw some 5 gallon pre-bonsai specimens for sale last fall, but this definitely gives you a good Idea of the size that is necessary to make a convincing image with those leaves.

Love this tree...looking forward to seeing how it looks in leaf this summer.

Picture is looking good Ed! But still your smokebush is looking much better in real live! With a few more years of work on the branches and the finner ramification and then your Bonsai will be a pretty unique show stopper! cheers

And now I have to get back painting all my Bonsai benches! pale

Cheers,
