Walmart "Bonzai"
Has anyone seen the current crop of faux Bonzai at Walmart? The are
selling for $10 but I was able to pick one up for half price out of a bunch that looked like it had freeze or sun burn. Most of them were pretty shriveled up and sorry looking but one had some promise so, unable to resist a plant in need, I hauled it home, trimmed off the top of the damages branches (taking out about 1/4 to 1/3 of the plant) and now it looks pretty respectable. The branches oozed a milky sap briefly after being cut. I have no idea what plant this is. I suspect some sort of ficus but I don't know ficus at all. It has a most interesting and contorted root system. I'd appreciate it if you would take a look at it and see if you can identify it. Go to: http://community.webshots.com/user/deerhnd It's the first photo in the PLANTS and GARDENS folder. (That should be the first folder, too.) And if anyone can tell me what Walmart pours over the gravel layer on top of the soil that turns it into a solid, unmoveable mass, could you share that info, too? Thx. |
