[IBC] Tipuana
 

Hiya Folks



I have been given some Tipuana, has any one tried these as Bonsai, and if
you have, how are they going and have you had to do any thing special.



Thanks

[IBC] Tipuana
 

I haven't done this one. But from what I can find on the web, it
looks like the leaves are put out in large lengths (8-10 inches) of
compound leaves (25 leaves on one branchlet by my count). If that is
so, this could be very hard to do as bonsai. I say this because it is
the same reason that pecan trees do not make good bonsai. I'd love to
do a broom style pecan, but each time the tree would leaf out, it
would send out a foot long branchlet of 13 leaves.

But hey, that really hasn't stopped me from planting all those pecans
just to see what will come up!
