I prefer to talk about Bonsai. That however is my personal opinion, I cannot speak for the other forum visitors. I do however think that for plants in general there are far better forums.

Hi Andre
Im new to Bonsai and also this forum. I take my hat off to you for having a go at these cuttings!
Im of the opinion that its good to have a go and nothing ventured nothing gained! Good luck with your project!

Hello friends!

The cutting is still showing growth on the root area, however I am controlling the real trees to see when their leaves start falling off:

1. should I remove it from the water totally as soon as the trees outside have started shedding their leaves?
OR
2. should I wait until the real trees shed all their leaves
OR
3. something else?

The little one is a plant named Eugenia uniflora, Pitangueira in portuguese. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenia_uniflora
I will grow it to be a bonsai.

I'm also drying some different seeds to try them out later such as the Avocado (Persea americana) and the Papaya (Carica papaya). Although I read it lives about 8 to 10 years, making them not very rewarding as a bonsai some say, well 10 years is a lot of time still I think, I'm going forward!

I'll check back when I have news!
Everything is going well, lots of work and busy schedules, but I keep caring for them everyday.
Kind regards,
André

You cannot grow bonsai from Papaya or Avocado.

Oh, not even the bigger version of a bonsai?

Nope.

Eugenia uniflora is suitable. It's going to take many years though.

This guy's 'Adventures in Bonsai' movies about bonsai Papaya's are hilarious though...
