Yes. Just heard Walter speak on that very subject. He finished up with a
dissertation on the American trends, but without even mentioning buttonwood. Iris, Central NY, Zone 5a, Sunset Zone 40 "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Yogi Berra |

I do not know the european name for the buttonwood..
Theo, it is platanus occidentalis ( platano americano) A common error. This is why we have botanical names. I was referring to Florida buttonwood, Conocarpus erectus. It is God's gift to American bonsai, equal to anything the mountains of China or Japan can produce. Sadly, it is little known in Europe, although it would probably be easy to grow in the Mediterranean countries. The problem is that you can't grow one from seed or cuttings, since its whole appeal is the deadwood. They are collected, which makes them very expensive. Actually, Platanus occidentalis, which we call sycamore, is not particularly suited for bonsai. The leaves are way too big.

I think the buttonwood that Iris was referring to is Conocarpus erectus - a
tropical tree. Regards, Roger Snipes Spokane, WA.
