Hi everyone!

I am looking into buying a Bougainvillea tree but the particular tree has a flower around half the size of the trunk. :dry: Ive seen Bougainvilleas with tiny flowers. Is it possible to reduce the flowers size in the same way you reduce the leaves size with defoliation?

I have never read anything on reducing flowers on trees. I don't think it's possible.

Everything I have read says it can't be done.

the only thing that can be done is reduce their number of them, size is a genetic trait that cant be changed.

I've seen a few boganvillia bonsai's and no, you can't reduce the flower size, toucan definately reduce the the leaf size tho.
