Greetings all! With this being my first post to BE, I thought I might as well make it a productive one at that.

I'd first like to take this oppurtunity to express my thorough appreciation for Bonsais, all be-it my level is beginner at best, as a therapeutic outlet for my stress and tensions. I just can't seem to get enough of their beauty and natural appearance.

Anywho, enough of the needless and annoying ranting, I'd love it if you could provide me with a ID to my Bonsai tree.

The leaves are small and somewhat oval, with coarse texture on the top. It is also, believe it or not, budding some small, 5 point, white flowers!

I will post a photo below...

Hi Cody
I don't have much experience with bonsai, but I think it might be some type of boxwood.

Its probably better to wait and hear what some of the more experienced people in this forum think it is.

oh ya, i forgot to add. Its a very nice bonsai you own

Much appreciated! I'd love of it were a boxwood. But boxwood or not, its quickly become, along with the other tree of the same species I bought, my favorites in my collection.

I'm not going to do any wiring for the time being. I'm planning on Keeping them in this general size

How many trees do you have in your collection? I'm still trying to build up a collection, but none of them are truly bonsai yet

I had to get up and go count them, lol!
But not all are Bonsai trees, though only half are. The others are in training. I have 14 trees all together.

How about you share re. your collection here: www.bonsaiempire.com/forum/bonsai-cafe/2...s-in-your-collection

ya, i excited to see what you have

I think it's a Carmona. They're indoor trees.

More information about this tree you can find here:

Good luck!

That's exactly what it is! So would it be appropriate to call it a Fukien tea? Or should it be called carmona?
