chop

This little schefflera has been growing into a tower since I acquired over two years ago. I've read these can make decent bonsai- you let the plant grow a third higher than you plan, remove the top third and let it grow back. The new growth will branch out. So I'm finally trying this.

It was just over 24" tall

when I removed the top

I stripped the lower branches off the cutting, and stuck it in another small pot. I didn't give this the care usually taken, so it probably won't root, just a chance.
