This bougainville is very well established and has been in training for over two years. All the primary branching has been wired and is in place. Now this tree needs to mature and develop finer ramification. I really admire the unique trunk shape for a boungainvillea. This tree is a fine addition to any collection. Measurements: Height: 16″ Width: 16″ Trunk Diameter: 7″ (widest point) Nebari (root spread): 8″. Ships semi bare root- the rootball is securely plastic wrapped. General Bougainvillea is an extremely drought tolerant flowering vine. Though bougainvillea is often seen with a large self supporting trunk in a bonsai setting its true nature is to climb over and prick! Anything in its path. In warm climates Bougainvillea is a prolific grower, one at the Thomas Edison home in Ft. Myers has totally overtaken a 40′ pine. Bougainvillea leaves reduce readily and because the colored part of the flower is actually a modified leaf known as a bract the nodes between the flowers can be reduced with training. Bougainvillea can take total defoliation or a 80% root pruning with no problem given temperatures are nice and hot. Finally, the trick to get bougainvillea to bloom the best is to keep them dry.
