i own a serrissa that has been in my posession for three years it has a 2in diameter trunk and great nebari. once when i went on a trip the perso n i asked to water my stuff missed my serrissa. needless to say the leaves all wilted and died. in a desperate attempt to save it(perfect trunk and nebari), i cut all the branches off and had only a trunk and roots. it budded back like MAD and a year or less later i have a completely new set of branchesthat look even better than before. they are fussy sometimes but this guy is one of my faves for bonsai i have 8 of them 3 are mame. the really funny thing is i got the best one from all places wal mart for ten dollars! it looks better than many i have seen and will post a pic when my camera is returned to me.
