54387 FICUS BENJAMINA TOO LITTLE MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.00 The perfect miniature fig for indoor bonsai: thickly foliaged with tiny recurved glossy leaflets on twiggy branchlets. A great find by Jim Atchison, from whom this clone derives. Possibly the best place to start for an indoor bonsai experience if you anticipate needing some immediate positive stroking as a master of tropical bonsai--especially as the swollen roots help this survive a minor lapse in your watering schedule!

40270 FICUS BUXIFOLIA (FICUS LINGUA) MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 "Boxwood Fig" Compact willowy branches loaded with tiny leathery elongated-triangle leaves; the petite stature, easy culture and early fruiting make this a traditional favorite for bonsai.The alternate name for this plant is Ficus lingua and this may be more correct. .

41260 FICUS FRED BOUTIN MOR HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Unique woody, twiggy low growing "character" trunks give this quirky hybrid of F. carica x pumila high marks with cascade bonsai trainers who also value its richly haired, quilted foliage. this selfbranching jewel needs high humidity like its carica parent to maintain good spidermite free foliage; loves a pole or wall to clamber like its pumila parent. Of most interest to collectors as the Moraceae are notoriously difficult to hybridize as the blossoms face the center of the enclosed protofruit available only to the designated wasp species.. Not only prized by moss topiary designers but also now discovered by Wardian Case designers looking for a taller fig which will remain small featured.

42019 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] CURLY MOR HP TERR PRICE: $ 5.25 "Flame Leaf Creeping Fig" Quilted, irregularly lobed oakleaf with central chartreuse flame design; very open growth habit perfect for your terrarium. Known as 'Dorte' in Europe. Remove reversions immediately.

40290 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] QUERCIFOLIA MOR HP CGH TER PRICE: $ 10.00 "Miniature Oakleaf Fig" Tiny deep green leaves are deeply lobed. Not only is the individual leaf considerably smaller than the species form but each dimpled leaf is deeply lobed as if a tiny oak shaped cookie cutter was at work overtime. More clumping than running in habit, this is the "to die for" choice for the sophisticated terrarium or the stunningly wee topiary only inches high. The crown jewel of the "Creeping Fig" cultivars.

41881 FICUS PUMILA [REPENS] SNOWFLAKE MOR HP TERR PRICE: $ 4.75 Beautiful "Snowflake Fig" forms an overlapping mat made of irregularly lobed small glossy leaves with showy marginal bands of bright clear white. Show stopper known in Europe for reasons unclear as 'Arina' or 'White Sunny.'

Roots are said to be chewed as a sterility cure in Zimbabwe! We make no guarantee on curative powers, but believe it an excellent container subject. Newly published under the name of Ficus Salicaria for which information we thank Derek Burch. Whatever its name, this shrubby freely branching beauty is at home in any bonsai pot; however, released into a larger pot or given free root run, this soon achieves wide handsome proportions at which point the beauty of the older bark becomes apparent.

40654 MYRSINE AFRICANA VER TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.50 "African Boxwood" or "Cape Myrtle" Thick-lved pseudo-bonsai, tiny leathery coin lvs on somewhat fastigate woody stems. We recommend this for indoor bonsai for it grows easilly and trims well.

42156 NASHIA INAGUENSIS VER TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.25 "Bahana Berry" Tiny crinkled fleshy leaves, with lovely mint fragrance, on rigid much-branched twiglets emerging from woody trunks--perfect tropical bonsai; the orange berries (following petite verbenia-shaped cream flowers) adds vanilla flavor to Moujean tea. Also used in topiary as the flexible stems will follow the contours of any moss filled wire form or driftwood surface and the tiny leaves remain shingled on the surface. Never let this dry out or face the horrible truth of terminal dormancy.

60485 ADENIA GLAUCA PAS TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 Swollen caudiform stems topped with annual viney stems with glaucous-gray fingered leaves; pink flowers.

We include several pictures of older trees in pots. These sometimes are available at about 100.00 each. Inquire.

65091 CALIBANUS HOOKERI LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Large corky caudex of a Ponytail; but multi-headed tufts of semi-glaucous leathery leaves. Central Mexico.

60906 CRASSULA OVATA OBLIQUA CALIFORNIA RED TIP CRA CGH HP PRICE: $7.25 Distinctive slow growing "Red Rimmed Jade Tree" originating with Ed Hummel long ago, with a subtle hue of purplish-red on the fat leaves' rims (when given bright light to full sun). Paired rimmed leaves on stout woody trunks; but without intense light, cool winter conditions and very limited fertilizer, the color will quite likely not develop.

60284 CRASSULA PORTULACEA CONVOLUTA GOLLUM CRA HP PRICE: $ 5.50 "Trumpet Jade" Stiff short woody trunks support tufts of bizarre leaves so fused that only a curious trumpet fish-mouth remains at the tip--rather like E.T.'s fingers! The cute name once again makes sense to customers thanks to current blockbuster films.

60285 CRASSULA PORTULACEA CONVOLUTA HOBBIT CRA HP CGH PRICE: $ 7.50 Each leaf is rolled in from the sides and nearly fused into various bizarre forms of fat unrolled cigarettes. Popular conversation piece developing a considerably different outline than that of 'Gollum.'

60393 KALANCHOE HILDEBRANDTII CRA HP TGH PRICE: $5.25"Silver Teaspoons" perfect description of the platinum hair pelting the oval leaves with narrow petioles; these remarkable leaves are rigidly ranked on slim extremely erect stems (thus lending this plant new status as a unique but successful rigidly at attention topiary standard). A curiously similar habit to that of Kalanchoe peltata, whose similarly shaped rigid leaves are, of course, NOT pelted. In the West Coast wholesale trade this Madagascar native seems usually offered as K. orgyalis `Silver' (but orgyalis is a much larger statured, less symmetrically upright growing, not given to rigid right angles of growth, and a more tannish toned plant).

60408 KALANCHOE PELTATA CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.00 Slim erect stems rigidly hold leaves resembling an army of (un-pelted!) tiny garden spades; topped by pink bellflowers when mature. Easy slow growing houseplant--the dependable angular plain sister of the showy flashy hildebrandii.
