If only it were possible!
My neighbour wanted a bonsai so I potted up the flamboyant in his garden for him.

Sure Pedro, it only takes the right fertilizer application... a brand called Photoshop... and it flowers instantly.


Seriously. I've always had trouble in getting it to branch enough to build up any sort of branch ramification. If I cut a branch back it would only sprout one lead instead of many... Resulting in one or two very knobbly branches with few leaves.
You seem to have created a good shape to your foliage. I guess you have to look at one of their bi pinnate leaves as a branch in itself and not expect many actual branches.
Did you get many flowers on the occasions that it bore?

Just a few flowers but not in all branches and always at the end. The shape when they have flowers does'nt look like a good bonsai tree but you have the flowers!

Now I think that with your fertilizer will be easy to work with them!

Would anyone like to tell me the botanical name of this tree, the pics are so very small but looks very much like some kinda Rhus?

Here is an extremely nice site that covers some very glorious flowering trees:

Just thought it would be rather good to share.
