I have this short tree with a braided trunk. The leaves are tear shaped but more pointed at both ends. It goes by the name money tree. I’ve heard its a bonsi but mine is huge.
Ok I actually found out what is is. Had to take a leaf to a Dr. in botany to find out what it was. But i’ll keep the question going just for fun and to give someone some points. Hint; I guess they key is in the statement that the trunk is braided. Its actually braided all the way up to the tall trunk like green stems. Described to me as one of the easiest and fastest trees to braid. Another big point, this plant can be made into a bonsi tree when raised in the right conditions.
