Chloroleucon tortum

Brazilian Raintree

The unique features of this species such as the twisted trunk, exfoliating bark, and delicate compound leaves made it an ideal candidate for bonsai. In the United States BRT grown as a bonsai can be traced to the late Jim Moody of Jupiter Bonsai.



 Chloroleucon tortum need well-drained soils and regular watering, especially in hot dry weather. Use lukewarm water, and don't over-water. 






Directional pruning maintains the desired shape and size of this bonsai. When trimming branches, cut back to just above a node to prevent die-back of the branch. Trees may be heavily pruned and will back-bud on older branches. Younger branches are very flexible and respond well to wiring. Thorns growing on the trunk and primary branches may be removed and will not grow back in the same location. Re-pot during the warm summer months.
