An Old Bonsai Favorite 1/17/18

If you know Gedemerta's bonsai, you'll recognize this as one of his many Pemphis acidula. The rough bark, preponderance of deadwood and the tiny leaves give it away

The photos shown here are from an old favorite of ours, Gedemerta Bonsai Bali. Though I just discovered these (on facebook of course), I also just noticed they date all the way back to 2012, so they may be familiar to some of you. In fact, at least one of them has been shown here on Bark (the Barbados cherry, but with a different pot) and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more than one.

Gedemerta call this Sakura, which is most likely the Indonesian name for Malpighia pendiculata (Barbedos cherry).

I find the background a little distracting, but still, a great tree. Gedemerte says it's a Picus, but I think that's a typo (or an Indonesian word for Ficus). The leaves look like Ficus as do all those arial roots

No name give with this one, but judging by the bark and the leaves, it could be a Premna mycrophylla
