Back again with another question..
There are some wild trees growning around here that have about 2" long
thorns and leaves that look like maiden hair fern, my neighbor told me that
it is a "Maiden Hair Fern Hathorn" I thought they were just "trash" trees,
but this neighbor has one in his yard trimmed up like a Bonsai tree.. very
nice looking, about 7' tall.. Question, I can only find trees of this sort
that are about 3-7' tall, I can't remember if they are evergreen or not.. I
am wondering how much of the trunk I can cut off to make it into a real
Bonsai tree.. the trunk peels and the bark under it is rather a dark pinkish
red/orange color.. very interesting.. it blooms small white flowers in the
spring and bares small reddish orange berries in the fall..
Any help greatly appreciated, Oh, there is another type of tree around here
that also has the throns, but the leaves are roundish and do not look like
maiden hair fern. Same sort of white flowers, very sweet smelling, nad the
red berries in the fall, the birds love both kinds...
Thanks,
Barb
