Iris: It's not at all difficult to post on the gallery. Many
(possibly even most) people who post there do not use this forum.

It's easier to register for the gallery than it was to register
for the list, so go ahead and post back where you found Mr.
Barlow's thread.

I am answering this here, since I am not familiar with the ins &
outs of the gallery. I enjoyed the series on buttonwood from
Martinique. Doesn't anyone in Europe or elsewhere in the Eastern
Hemisphere grow them?

I was wondering looking at the photos....do the leaves always
remain so big, or are they already reduced in size.* Smaller
leaves would be another improvement for these lovely bonsai.

Buttonwood leaves are on the large size, & look better on a
larger specimen. However, they can be reduced somewhat by
frequent pinching. You just have to keep at it.
