Chimonanthus Praecox as bonsai

Post by Bonbon »

Anyone try? Looks nice, fragrant, looks like Prunus Mume. Only yellow colour.
Just not sure whether Sydney is too hot for it as it's from Northern China.

I tried once but never got very far. Branches die back and hard to ramify I found.

Are you having any success bonbon? I just bought one from a nursery hoping it might do ok as a bonsai (I'm in Melb, so hopefully climate will be ok). Would love to hear how you've gone or anything you have learned.
