| Hello!
I recently picked up a bonsai tree at Lowe's. It came with a tag that listed all the different bonsais that the company makes, but they didn't mark which one mine was. I know what most of the trees on the list are. The ones that I don't recognize (that maybe my tree) are Boxwood, Box Orange, Fukien Tea, Black Olive, Ilex and Arborcola. All the leaves on my tree are compound with pinnate leaflets. There is a single odd leaflet at the end of each leaf. The leaflets are a dark shiny green. Anybody know what kind of bonsai this might be? I would appreciate any help I could get! -Amber Rae |

| When you say there's a single odd leaflet at the end of each leaf, do you in fact mean there's 3 rounded 'teeth' there? If so, then it's probably a Fukien tea, but then again they're NOT compound at all, so I really don't know what you're referring to. Can you post a picture of them? |

| Amber, Sounds like it might be Boxwood. Have a look at the link below. Please note that this picture is of dried foliage so it may not look quite right. If that looks close google it for more pictures to verify this identification. Norm |
Here is a link that might be useful: Boxwood

| It's also as likely to be cotoneaster. |
