First is the little guy a Fukien Tea with a 3/8" trunk at about 7" tall.

Next is the Ficus Retusa with a 2"+ trunk at about 17".

and then my favorite, the Brazilian Rain Tree and she put the hippos in
This one also has a 2"+ trunk and it is about 21"-22" tall.

The Brazilian Rain Tree is cool. It closes its leaves in the evenings and opens at first light. I will get some close up photos of these and post when I have the chance.
It started dropping leaves after the initial move here but it seems to have stabilized and is growing quickly. I am interested in keeping it no higher/taller but developing the trunk width and branches to fill out.

I realize now that my statement about the trunk filling out was ignorant. As I have read and studied it is likely to stay near the same diameter as it ages unless it grows unchecked in a less confined space. Oh well, live and learn.
I still love the BRT and think it is a fine specimen in my collection.
