Cape Honeysuckle

(Tecomaria capensis)

Bonsai Buddy gave me this tree after seeing me drool over a semi-cascade Cape Honeysuckle in a book. He tied one branch down to create the beginning of the cascade. I trimmed it a little at our Tree Butchering Party on July 4^th, 2005 and again on July 31^st, 2005.

This little guy seems to be very healthy, and growing well. On August 26, 2005, I decided to do some more trimming. Here's the before photo:

The cascading branch seems to be convinced that it should stay there, so I've removed the string which was helping. Here's what it looked like after the trim:
