Citharexylum Spinosum - Fiddlewood
Here are some examples of Citharexylum spinosum, was C. quadrangulare.
I think that this is a promising subject for the tropics. I've seen it on many islands here in the Caribbean and even as far away as Hawaii near the convention hotel a few years ago(used as a decorative tree set in sidewalks). There is a similar citharexylem in Florida but this does not seem to grow into a large tree. Here in the tropics it is one of the few trees on which the leaves turn red before they drop. They are only bare for a few days when the new leaves come out. I would be very happy to see any other examples of this used as bonsai since I've never seen any. Here are a few examples of mine. Some are just springing after I defoliated them. The first photo shows a cu of leaves and berries of naturally large tree. Art |

A sigle informal upright. The wood seems to preserve well with limesulphur.

Art,
Wonderful bonsai, all excellent. Thanks for showing. The last one, with the cascading bit, is superb. Heck, they all are. Regards, TB
