Mellow Mullet
Masterpiece
A good ol' southern tree. The flowers have an intense banana like smell. I picked this one up at the local botanical gardens plant sale. There were three plants growing in the pot so I separated them, two of which I planted in the yard and the third I potted up to see if I could make a bonsai out of it. The trunk doubled in size and I decided to make some selections and see what I could get from it. I don't know how much the leaves will reduce. When I put it in the training container they got bigger, about three times as big (see picture), but I thought I'd roll the bones and see what I could coax out of it. What do you think? Anyone else ever tried one?
