No one knows what trees was created by DanielArnwineSr

Posted 8 years 6 months ago #17148
I bought 3 bonsai trees from our local Walmart. They had no names on them. I was told the first was either a hawaiian umbrella tree or a money tree. the second has white flowers and they said it might be a fuscia tea tree and the third also a fuscia tree or elm. Please someone help me to ID them. I have sent several pictures out but with no response.

Walmart doesn't sell bonsai.

Your plants are, I think:
- Schefflera
- Carmona
- Ligustrum

Auk already IDed those plants for you (plants, not Bonsais). Also, I believe is a rather bad idea buying trees or anything at all if we don´t actually know what it is.

they advertised them as bonsai and they were 50% off. I only bought them because of their beauty. And I will not buy from anyone other than a place that knows what they are selling

What are you trying to say? That they are bonsai because Wallmart says they are? You don't trust the people who really know what a bonsai is? If you think these plants are beautiful bonsai, you clearly have never seen a beautiful bonsai.

what I was meaning to say was that from now on I won't buy anywhere unless they know what they are talking about. So as of now no more Walmart shopping for plants.
