Here is a Buttonwood I just repotted. Came out of Puerto Rico. I potted it and now I feel like the right side is the better front, lol. Guess I will repot next year and change it.

Be careful when re potting... It is best t wait until evening temperatures are in the 80's!

I've had a Buttonwood since 1998, and I let it grow for almost 2 years before starting to style it. The buttonwood is a wonderful plant and the leaves will reduce to an amazingly small size.

Nice buttonwood. Either side looks quite nice to me at this point.
