Description
Divi Divi is a small thornless very slow growing tree whose seed pods are a source of tanin. It has very small (less than 1/2" long) evergreen foliage. The small flowers appear in terminal clusters and are very fragrant. The creamy blooms are very sweet and pretty, but it is the bright colored copper and pink new growth that really attracts attention. Great for indoors.
Specifications
Age : 2.5 - 3 Years
Size (Approx) : L X W X H : 5" x 4" x 7"
Note : The plant might differ a little than the picture as each Bonsai is created differently.
Environment
Plant divi-divi in a sand or loam soil that is well-draining and is slightly acidic (pH between 6.0 and 7.0). It appreciates and responds well to lots of water during the heat of the growing season, but it is still a slow-growing species. Site the tree in a full sun location, receiving no less than eight hours of direct sun rays daily. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, trees begin to flower and produce pods at an age of 5 to 7 years; seedlings are easily harmed by frosts and hot dry winds.
