Among my smallest collection of super mini Premna...

Another one...

Compare its original leaf size with the reduced size....

Oh my! Those are fantastic! I would have never guessed that such leaf reduction was possible. I am honestly blown away.

 

[Robert Steven]

Thanks guys..the better the ramification structure, the smaller the leaves will reduce...

 

[Greg Brenden]

Robert--I've seen you post these before; how long-lived are they in such small pots?

 

[Robert Steven]

Yes, I posted these on my FB. The ones I posted on IBC were different. From time to time I should take it out from the pot and plant it in a tray...

Robert, do you think the premna can be forced to be an "inside tree" here in the US, or does this really need the heat and sun??

From pictures of these it is one of my favorite species, and Robert you get crazy ramification, and leaf reduction, thanks for showing them.

That is some serious size reduction. Very nice little trees. Do you have any larger ones? I'd like to see some more...

 

[Robert Steven]

Bill, they need heat and high humidity.... You can read my article about Premna in my blog :

Thanks Robert, I'll check it out some more. You are lucky, the premna is a very nice plant to work with.
Thanks again.

Compare its original leaf size with the reduced size....

13 years after you inspired me with this little thread, I’m finally getting to see that leaf reduction for myself. The big leaf plant is a cutting from the small leaf plant.

LOVE THESE trees.
Saw another post of a small premna you had or worked on years ago.
That hooked me and I have been growing my mame collection since. I use collection very liberally here.
