Enrique,

What are the species of trees?

[Enrique]

Hi Leslie, the speicies are Mimosa bahamensis, Gymnopodium floribundum, and Ficus benjamina. But there were quite a few species in the exhibition, many like, Dyphisa cartagenensis, or Holographys that have not yet been used in other places (as far as I know) best wishes. Enrique

The larger photo looks a lot like a Prosopis velutina, I was convinced that that was a bonsai Mesquite tree :o .

[Enrique]

yes Mimosa bahamensis like a lot of the leguminose do tend to look a bit a like. Prosopis tends to have larger leaves and a the leafs are a different type of green, also the youg branches of this mimosa are ussually white. Is quite a nice species. Best wishes Enrique

sir enrique,

how about the 2nd large picture, is that a juniper? what variety is it? bcause i have my juniper bought it last month ago...but i see the plant doesn't produce new shoots after repoting it. but i pruned its little branches but i still didnt pinch its shoots coz i want to see a sign of recovering,like growing new shoots before doing it. sir how would i hundle this? what season is the best way to do this? thanks, anyway nice trees you got!

mabuhay!
