I have a pretty little cluster of bonsai trees. Two of the trees are Sweet Thorntrees, and they have this one trait that at first alarmed me. At night, the leaves fold up and droop. They have long narrow branches with leaves fairly equally space on either side, and at night, the leaves fold in such a way that they look sort of like folded hands.
Now I’ve seen plants that close up when you touch them (thigmotropic, if I remember correctly) but aside from dandelions I haven’t seen anything so affected by sun or lack of it. Is there a name for it?
