Description
This specimen of Baccharis tola, a high-altitude shrub, exhibits a dense, cushion-like growth with numerous upright stems and small, scale-like leaves. While currently growing in its natural rocky environment, its compact habit suggests potential for a unique clump-style bonsai. Its natural resilience to harsh conditions makes it an interesting, albeit challenging, candidate for bonsai cultivation.
