Brazilian Rain Tree Bonsai

Botanical name:  Pithecellobium tortum

 

Gorgeous vibrant compound foliage that closes up at night and when it rains. Trunk flutes as it matures, and has a naturally exfoliating bark. Very hardy, fast growing tree.  Absolutely hates the cold weather and thrives in warm humid conditions.

During the summer you can place this tree outside to cut back on maintenance and provide ideal conditions.   Bonsai trees should never be placed in full sun, and should be place in partly shady area.  In the winter they need to be brought inside once the temperatures start dropping below 50 degrees.  Like most other tropical bonsai it's very important to water daily.
