A delicate tree from the Caribbean that grows into a bonsai shape almost without any assistance. Though commonly called 'black olive tree', this native of the upper Florida Keys is not the edible olive we know and love, but does produce a small, black seed-capsule. On old trees, the bark is sometimes rugged, and the crown often spreads horizontally.
This is a "pre-bonsai" tree that is in preparation for bonsai. It is in a nursery growing pot instead of a traditional bonsai pot.
