weed woman, your bonsai is charming!! I'm sending a pic of an experiment with 'serissa' which might answer your "woody" question. This is an awkward growing plant, the stems going every which-a-way and after 3 yrs of vigorous pruning, it is looking like a little tree............the trunk being about 1/2" dia. The leaves are about 1/4" long, edged in white and it gives tiny, white flowers in the spring. The plan is to make a miniature scene with it eventually. I've just repotted it into a larger trough container and only cut back a few roots. Having never attempted bonsai before, this one makes me feel it might be possible to do.
