Default [IBC] Paliurus spina christi - Christ's thorn

I have found in the nature paliurus spina christi or Christ's
thorn,
dwarfish and natural bonsai.
I am asking for help, before extraction from nature, becouse

I don't
have any expirience with this plant. Any advice will be

appreciated.
Thanks!


Could this be the Jujube-Tree?


No. Jujube is Ziziphus jujuba. They are, also, however, members
of the Rhamnaceae. I have seen jujube bonsai. (+ -) If you have
Dirr's "Woody Landscape Plants" it is the last plant on the last
page of plant descriptions. Also last page of Botanica, ;-)
though Zygopetalum (an orchid) is the last plant there.
