Cannabis Bonsai, Boabab, Cherry Bonsai and More!

almost 4 years ago

Hey everyone, I planted these Cannabis Bonsai Tree's around a month ago and they are doing really well albeit currently experiencing a very cold Winter...

This will be my first grow of Cannabis in Bonsai pots, I have however done tons of traditional soil cannabis grows in the past. This is a little more tricky as the Bonsai soil is low in nutrients as to keep the Tree's small (high bark and silica soil content) which means I need to feed often, which I do!

Any ideas what this is? These I planted in honour of my precious child Jesse around 4 months ago and featured here before. It is an African Boabab Tree, when he is old enough to care for it I will give it to him, maybe for his tenth birthday?

As per wikipedia:

Adansonia is a genus of deciduous trees known as baobabs. They are native to the regions of Madagascar and mainland Africa.[2] The tree has also been introduced to other regions such as Australia and Asia.[3][4][5] The generic name honours Michel Adanson, the French naturalist and explorer who described Adansonia digitata.[6] The baobab is also known as the "upside down tree", a name that originates from several myths.[7]

In the early 21st century, baobabs in southern Africa began to die off rapidly from a cause yet to be determined. Scientists believe it is unlikely that disease or pests were able to kill many trees so rapidly, and some speculated that the die-off was a result of dehydration from global warming.[8][9] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adansonia

Below, the jury is still out as to what this is. I have it on good ground that I have a black cherry Tree here as I did plant a few seeds, also it is thriving in this cold weather which would clue me into this belief.

CHERRY. The common cherry tree (prunus cerasus, Linn.; cerasus vulgaris, Loud.) is of Asiatic origin, and is said by Pliny to have been introduced into Italy by Lucullus from Cerasus in Pontus during the Mithridatic war, about 70 B. C., and about 120 years afterward it was introduced into Britain.

It is extensively cultivated in the temperate regions of Europe and America. The Romans recognized eight varieties of it, and more than 300 varieties are now reckoned in catalogues. The branches are spreading, horizontal, or slightly inclining upward in the larger trees, and drooping in the smaller ones; the flowers are in subsessile umbels, somewhat stalked; the leaves are ovate-lanceolate, smooth, folded together, and of lightest color in the largest varieties; and the fruit is round or heart-shaped, commonly red, but passes into all shades between that color and dark purple. The wood is of a reddish hue, hard and tough, and much used by the cabinetmaker; the gum which exudes from the bark is edible; and the fruit is eaten either fresh or dried, and is made into preserves. The cherry tree is best propagated by grafting on seedlings of the wild cherry
