She has an odd e-mail address not sure if she will get this??

Good Day to All,
Steph[anie?]

[1]Bombax Ceiba - Silk Cotton ?

Hopeless,one to three branches and lots of
imagination for 1 leaf equals x leaves.
[If it is Silk Cotton]

[2]Guaiacum officinale -Lignum Vitae ?

Hopeless,one to two branches and some
leaflets.You can waste years hoping for
this to become anything.

[3]Mangifera indica - Mango ?

Depends on type - Tabletop sets fruit like a
grape and the mangos are small about 1 1/2"
or so.Trunk is rugged and branches enough.
You need 3' to pull the tree into harmony.
Easy to grow,but I have yet to put one into a
Bonsai pot.

The local Agricultural officers usually have a
few in 5 gal.biscuit tins,left to grow for years.

[4]Psidium Guajava

Get a big trunk and you may have a passable
tree.Cow pastures are good places to look.
The local types are small fruited,yellow in colour
and sweet or acid.
Not a great subject.

There is also the strawberry guava.

Steph most of these are -nice- plants but not
very satisfying or very impressive.

You might find Seagrape,Tamarind,types of the
Calliandra's,Lantanas,Murraya,Nicodemia Diversifolia
[has a new name which I have forgotten],Citrus types
- mandarin or the very small fruited not edible Fortunella
types [has one to two seeds per fruit] or Gmelina H,
much more satisfying.
Good Luck.
