Yes it is a Brazilian Rain Tree and young. I am gearing more toward smaller tropicals. I only have so much space indoors to overwinter them. Dwarf Barbados Cherry. (I only have access to a few pictures at work)

Shohin
Started a new little project today. Little shohin twin trunk tiger bark in a Walsall pot. Probably should have left the top to help thicken the main trunk a bit more but screw it.

Did some work on a few wee willow leaf ficus yesterday. They need a bit of filling out, but I'm really happy with the radial roots, basal flare, and basic structure that can create some 3 - 4 inch trees.
Tree #1:
Tree #2:
Tree #3:
P.S. the stick in the first 2 trees is to separate the branches/trunks from being on the same plane.

Shohin Chinese elm broom in the making . Today is its first day in a bonsai pot . It has been grown in a nursery flat pot ( Anderson flat ) for the last couple of years .

A couple of new trees have been promoted to the Shibui Bonsai shohin bench this spring.
Buxus harlandii. Love the corky bark and smaller leaves of this species.
Cotoneaster horizontalis
Chinese elm from a root cutting.
Trident maple group
After doing that little forest and considering how many years it will be before they bulk up and fill out I decided to start with some more advanced trunks. What's the use of having hundreds of starter trees if you can't use some for yourself?

Congrats!
Besides being a beautiful little pine, one question remains: HOW do you water it?
Doesn't it dry up much earlier on the top part of the pot?
My Bougie in the summer, no flowers till winter:
Thanks. It just gets the hose (with a sprinkler head) like everything else.
This was the tree just after collection in 2015.

You measure from pot rim to the top of the apex, just like other shohin... trident root over rock, asking to be defoliated one more time??
better to use small rocks
