Popular Name: Spiny Hackberry. Native from southern United States, to Argentina. Height from soil: 17 inches. Diameter at trunk base: 2.75 inches. Pot: 10″ x 6.75″ x 2 origin unknown. Extremely rare bonsai species. I have never seen exhibited anywhere in California, in the past 20 years. I grew it from a seedling originated from a botanical garden in Los Angeles. It has mature bark, nice ramification. This is a semi-deciduous species in Southern California. The pictures show the tree in October, before it goes semi-dormant in late fall and winter. It has tiny leaves, and the branches naturally have lots of movement. The main feature of this tree is the perfectly tapered, straight trunk. Once the fine foliage fills out the space in-between, this tree will make the impression of a stately, tall tree growing alone, in a park. It will look spectacular, but it needs another two seasons of fine pruning, to achieve that look. The base of the trunk is perfect from every angle. I only have a limited number of this species. Once I sell a few, they will not be available. The item “Spiny hackberry bonsai Celtis spinosa Tala Medium size” is in sale since Monday, November 5, 2018.
