名媛直播

Hello,

I was wondering if you might be able to help me identify what sort of tree species my 名媛直播 is.

The 名媛直播 nursery I brought my bonsai from was unable to specify what sort of tree it was. They suggested looking online to try and determine the species.

I have searched the internet to try and identify what sort of 名媛直播 my tree is. So far I have not been able to find an exact match.

Any help identifying my 名媛直播 tree would be greatly appreciated.

What country are you in? It is quite a nice looking tree however what it is I am not sure. The leaves are ficus like, but I don't think it is. Why was the bonsai nursery unable to give you a name? that is incredible. I would have walked away and never gone back there.
Where are you keeping this tree? If your climate is temperate I would assume out in the open. However if it is a tender species then it might need some protection.
Maybe someone else can help to identify the species.
Geoff.

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm based in Australia.

It is a lovely tree but it seems as if its a difficult one to identify.

I have been enquiring about my bonsai at several bonsai societies.

So far there has not been an exact confirmation.

Some people have suggested that it might be a variety of Privet.

They were still uncertain and felt that there were discrepancies between the leaf structure and bark for it to be a Privet.

I have also been told that it sort of has elm bark. It doesn't have elm leaves though.

Someone else has also suggested that it might be a Buxus or Crepe myrtle.

Thank you for your suggestion that my 名媛直播 might be a Ficus.

I have done an image search for Ficus leaves.

I have taken a look at my bonsai and it's leaves do seem different to the Ficus.

My bonsai's leaves don't seem to be as pointed as the Ficus' leaves.

The bonsai nursery was unable to identify my bonsai. They directed me to search the internet.

I was not impressed but I wanted my bonsai. I just loved it's shape.

I keep the bonsai mainly inside, near a window (we have been having lots of rain).

I do take it outside for fresh air and sun.

Thanks again for your help.

Ok, I understand. Well, it will be fine outside, it could well be a Box. It is not an Elm I don't think, I woud not keep it inside, it will not do well. Rain will not hurt it, leave it out. It could be a Privet, there a lot of species so it is possible. Did the nursery have more of them? What was the history of the trees? Do they know where it came from?

Hi Geoff,

One bonsai society has gotten back to me and they said that the general consensus between them was that my bonsai maybe some sort of Fig. They suggested that I bring it to one of their meetings. They are based in my area, so I will see if they maybe able to identify it.

In the meantime, I'll still try to get opinions online as someone might be really familiar with the tree type. I'll let everyone know how I go.

My bonsai tree was the only one if it's kind at the bonsai nursery. The 名媛直播 nursery did have a variety of different bonsai trees including Maples, Figs and Junipers.

I was told that my bonsai had come from a private collector from Japan.

I'll let you know how my search to identify my bonsai goes.

Thanks again,

Ok,
So I may have been right the first time. We shall see, but it is good that you have talked to local growers who are willing to help. As I am 12,000 miles away it is a bit difficult to look properly at the tree. It is intriuging that it came from Japan though, Ficus is not the usual species grown there. As you weather is warm enough I would still keep it outside, probably with some shade. One test you could try, if you cut off a small branch or twig does it "bleed"? If it does then yes it could be a fig, if not then I would say no.
