Lavender Starflower

Grewia Occidentalis #1 and #2

Acquired 2020 – Lavender Star Flower (Grewia Occidentalis)

I bought two of these in 2020 from https://www.bonsaify.com/ for $25 each. They’ve been a bit challenging as they need a lot of sunlight and water, in comparison to some of my other trees.

Pruned back the cascade-style plant to try to stimulate more backbudding.

2021 – I’ve repotted these into much larger pots to let them thicken more.

These are still young and probably need some years of just thickening the trunks before I try to do too much shaping and repot them into bonsai pots.
