AusBonsai

This is for Redsonic and Pierre, so they can see how this tree is going now! The other one decided to turn its toes up, reason unknown...

Wow Mel, that is one happy, huge tree. It is going to be a beauty!
I will let Sarah know it is doing so well.

Cheers Sonya

It's certainly looking like it's settled in well.

Hi Mel
That is looking good, going to be a killer bonsai
Cheers Peterb

Thanks Peter!

I think it has some potential, I sure hope I can make the most out of it.

So awesome to see the results of collection. Good work guys, this has inspired me to try collect my own.

It flowered yesterday! One tiny little white flower.

What’s that old forum saying...

Pics or it didn’t happen

Lucky I took this photo yesterday, because the rain knocked the flower off, and it was gone today...

That’s a beautiful tree, it’s actually hard for me to imagine it came from those original photos a year and a bit ago.

Amazing! Nice work.. I’m assuming it’s Mel?

Thanks Dan, yup, I'm Mel, it's a Murraya.

Here's the Murraya as it is now. I haven't trimmed the foliage since Autumn, and it hasn't been root pruned either.... It's alive, and seems happy!

Excellent thread that I've just come across; thanks fo posting Mel - it is interesting to see how someone's hedge becomes someone else's bonsai. Progressing well too!

This is a really good story, the progression I mean, but an even better result. Your project is coming along terrific and looks to have a very bright future.
I would say that this tree (and hopefully the others from the original dig) have been saved - similar to adopting a rescue puppy.
The next step is to see it on display?

Looking great Mel, and as Watto says, so rewarding to have rescued this tree!
