Lemur island tree

Post by AndyLo »

Hi all

I recently visited the melbourne zoo. They have a spectacular tree in the lemur exhibit. Really wanting to know the species and if it would be any good for bonsai.

From my research I thought it might be a Ceiba speciosa cotton silk tree. However these have thorns or lumps on the trunk that often don't look great.

Thanks in advance
