Imperial Masterpiece
I saw this on Wigert's bonsai auctions on eBay last week and it was love at first sight. Told myself no more tropicals this late in the year, but apparently I was not in complete agreement with myself. It was advertised as the only one in the nursery. There was not much info to be had but I took the gamble and I am very happy with the win. The botanical name is Pictetia aculeata and its common name in the auction was Tachuela. There is not a whole lot showing up in my searches and I just wondered if anyone out there has any experience with this Caribbean species.
A peculiar note, even the leaves have spines. And the weeping habit of the compound leaves is natural and part of the charm of the tree that got my attention.
