Hi Bob, I had a look at your site and you got some great specimens. I cut the top off mine and it sprouted 2 shoots. It hasn’t grown very much though as it has been very neglected. The other one I bought at the same time has been in the garden for a few years now and is now about 2.5 m tall.

I have over 200 Bonsai in the garden…..all very young..95% are root over rock. Love the all.
i also have 1/2 dozen Boaba or QBtree I am nt sure as I was given the seeds from a tree that was growing at a vineyard in the hunter. The leaf looks like a Marijuana leaf?
I have tried to cut the top out of the QBT a few times but it keep growing up. It is very hard to make them split into two or stunt their growth….Have you had any success with your tree and do you have a picture?
Regards Bob

Yes Boris you are quite correct “bonsai” is term that is often misrepresented and the form of this plant wouldn’t be considered a bonsai. The intent of the article was more to display what is possible with this plant and then let people make up their own minds.

What you have created is not a bonsai, but a curious looking plant in a pot. You should have done some research on bonsai before writing your article.
