Hello Callie.

Yes it does have spikes...alot of them! There is not much in the way of information anywhere it seems. My Aunties dad has about 20 of them (he has the luxury of spending all day with bonsai and he has the yard to prove it, about 2000 trees...my aunty spends alot of time maintaining them all with him) and he hasnt found any publicated information on them...just had to learn from experience. From your experience with them are there any specific or important things to do with their growth patterns?

I have only had this for a fortnight and the few bits i have trimmed/cut grow 2 branches from where it was cut. (i have trimmed about 8 branches like cut them back to get thicker grouping of foilage and each of them has sprouted 2 new branches.

Regards
Mick
