They are fairly thin and pliable but they do have a leathery feel to them if that makes any sense. I got the tree from a garden centre and the tag that was on it was from bonsaistore.ca and said serissa foetida. I am very curious to know if you think it is something else? Please let me know. Thanks, Brian.
I just added some close up pictures of the leaves, maybe they will help in identifying my tree.

thanks, I started searching and it seems that Japonica is another term used for foetida is this correct because there is so much misinformation out there. I was also surprised to find out that there is like twenty different varieties of Sarissa Foetida and some of them do seem to describe my tree quite well while others are completely different. I am continuing my research and eventually I will figure it out, but even if I don't I can still enjoy my tree! Thans for your help, God bless, Brian.
Depends on how often you're fertilizing and, I guess on how bio-available that fertilizer is. I use a 10-9-7 at half strength. Concentrations may differ from product to product, so you may need more or less per gallon of one product versus another. Additionally, with the "how often", how much you use of the product will change. I base mine on recommended monthly dosage on the label. I then mix at half strength, which is ½-1 tsp. per gallon. I go by the quart, though, and I'm trying to fertilize every two weeks, so I use 1/16 tsp. per quart mixed. Once you start using fertilizers, pay attention for any signs of overfertilization, it's better to underfertilize than over fertilize, so erring on the side of caution is a more preferable course.
Thanks for the info, what would the signs be of overfertilization? I am going to definetely err on the side of caution because I have not used any fertilizer thus far and the tree is doing okay but it could probably use more nutrients especially in the summer season. Thanks again and God Bless, Brian.
