  Information on Fukien Tea for bonsai...
The Fukien Tea is a very attractive subject for bonsai, with shiny, oval, dark-green leaves against a grey-green trunk with white, slightly perfumed flowers which can appear all year round if given the right conditions.
General Care : The Fukien Tea grows well as an indoor bonsai (Depending on your climate it can be left outside and brought inside for the winter when temperatures drop below 15°C (60°F) or left inside all year as long as the plant is in a sunny position with adequate water and humidity).
Fukien Teas do not like cold weather, especially frost or cold draughts - which could be very detrimental to the plant and could even cause it to die.

Abu Usama fears that when the Wall reaches Wadi Fukien and cuts it off, the village, as in 1948, again will be forcefully evacuated, the people resettled somewhere unknown and their community left for dead—or for exploitation by the Israelis.
Hence, leaving 274,000 Palestinians in cut-off enclaves, like Wadi Fukien, and block 400,000 others who will be behind the Wall from reaching their fields, jobs, schools, hospitals, churches, mosques and other services in the so-called seam area between the Wall and Israel.
The scene this day in Wadi Fukien is deceptively idyllic as Abu Usama and his wife serve coffee and sweets to guests on their sun-splashed porch overlooking verdant, spring-fed plots of cabbages, radishes, olives, cauliflower, almonds, plums, grapes and other produce famous for its exceptional quality.

 China - Province Of Fukien
As an ex-ample of the diversity of dialects in China, may be cited the Chinese word for man. In some parts of Fukien it is long; in Canton, yan or yin; at Ningpo, ning; and at Peking, fin.
One is left in doubt whether the people or the mountains which they inhabit were the most prominent factors in determining the dividing line that separates them from their neighbours on the south and west.
This name does not signify "happily established," as stated in most books, but is compounded of the names of its two chief cities by taking the first syllable of each, somewhat as the pioneer settlers of Arkansas formed the name of the boundary town of Texarkana.
