Nice :-), I assume it is quite small due to the size of the leaves

Hi Bodhi, do you still have this guy or did it get sold?
If you still have it, I would love to see a pic of it with no leaves if they have dropped off that is.
Also if you do still have it, could you please pm me the price as I am interested.
If you have sold it, do you have and similar ones, and could you please pm me some pics and prices if that is ok?
Lovely tree!
Cheers, Dario. :wave:
