I am taking a class this weekend to start creating a "specimen" tropical tree at Bonsai West in Littleton, MA. They have culled out some good mature stock of Kingma ficus, Bougainvillea, portulacaria, and black olive for students in the class to work on. I have two smaller portulacarias and a kingman ficus. Has anyone worked with the other species before? Right now I am partial to picking out another ficus. I really love the one I already have.
Just wondering if anyone had thoughts on bougainvilleas or black olives?
Thanks for your input.
Jeff
