This is a subtropical species (common called St. John's Bread) native to Mediterranean regions (it's also grown in the U.S. desert Southwest for its fruit) and can take limited frost--the tree should be outside if you're in a geographic location where it's springtime. If you live in a place where it gets belwo freezing in the winter, you'll have to make arrangements to bring the tree inside for the winter...

Thank you for the link. I am from California. I am new in this forum and fairly new with bonsai. I have many orchids and discovered bonsai as much, much more interesting and chalenging than my other hobbies; koi pond and orchids.

I need suggestions on how to orient the tree. Thank you very much.
