Here are some photos of a collected clero. over the past 6 years. It eventually leaned too far to the right so I had to repot it this year, pruning it severely and pulling the apex back to the left.

They are native to Barbados and most of the Caribbean area but it is not often to find trunks of this diameter.

The first photo is of the first potting in a bonsai shaped pot in 2002. The last is this month. It has looked better, as you can see, but now it is better balanced so I will work on the foliage.

Two more photos. In 2004 and 2005.

And finally as it is in 2008. Not at its best foliage wise, but with a better balance.
