You will receive the exact tree in the photo. The flowers first come out white and then show blushes of pink. In training for roughly two years and very well established. Super awesome trunk, very fat with great taper. Leader is a bit lanky and should be cut back eventually but I didn’t want to ruin the nice shot of the flowers. Overall great potential, it’s calling for a good pot to really make it shine. Measurements: Height: 19″ Width: 22″ Trunk Diameter: 4″ Nebari (root spread): 11″. This tree ships semi bare root. 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 it dry – they will not flower if they have wet feet! Actual color of blooms!
