Hi,
I have received a collection of Bonsai from a collector is in the process of moving homes and they have been neglected for a bit and I have no idea how to look after them.
I have been reading up on them and there is a couple here that I do not know the specie of. Any help appreciated. The third pictured tree one not look great, looks like its lost half the left hand side leaves and the remaining leaves look like they have holes in them. The First plant has a few flowers, purplish looking ones but have since closed up in the last couple of days and turned white. Any help in getting them back to glory would be nice, from what I understood, the Last tree was a very pretty one before and the owners favorite amongst Pines and Junipers.
thanks,
Ahpat

Hi
The first two is grewia occidentalis, lavender star. The last one looks like a celtis sinensis.

Second that - maybe a closer photo just to confirm the celtis ?

Re: Tree ID Please
The top of the celtis is dead by the looks - see where the bark is a lighter colour ? I would cut it back and feed it. They aren't worth much in their present state.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the info, it is getting lighter halfway up, so you are suggesting cut half the trunk off? and feeding it, there looks like little baskets of round little balls next to the trunk, is this the feed you are referring to?
