| Hello, I have been looking for the name of this tree for some time now. I bought it at a local nursery near Toronto, and the Nursery owner could only tell me that it was a tropical "green tea" tree which originated in Taiwan/Malaysia and produced very small flowers about 1-2 mm in size.
I have posted pictures in a few other forums with no luck. Can anyone ID this unique bonsai shrub? Pictures are in the links. Links: http://www.helpfulgardener.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20377

| Your question was answered correctly on another forum, there is no need to get the same answer here. There is no 'green tea' tree, and I believe yours were Ficus or some other type, certainly tropical, but I can't find the thread now. Please believe what you were told as that person knew what they were doing. |

| Hi again - forget the last post (confused you with other newbie). Your tree does look like a Chinese elm, but either it's been grown in odd conditions, or what I suspect is that yours are species not normally seen here and therefore unfamiliar to most of us on these forums. But if it seems to be tropical and has been grown that way, then do your best to let it continue. There are many types that are native to the far east that just haven't been introduced here yet for whatever reason. |

| larke, Thanx for your equivocal comments. However, I would still like to know what it is. |
