Bahama Berry Bonsai - Any Information About It?

Does anyone out there have any bahama berry bonsai? If so can you please post pictures? Any additional info - I.e. where you got it, how long owned, special care given, etc. greatly appreciated.
These very under-used plants make wonderful bonsai material. I'm hoping to find some folks with experience. :)
Thanks,
TomM

I don't grow this tree, but know at least two people who have and I'm told it is a nice subject for Bonsai, but is very picky about moisture. In short it needs constant moistness and cannot be let to go dry. Some tropicals are forgiving if left too dry.......not this one.
Sorry I couldn't help you further.
