Hi all
I'm going to need some help with this one, my husband bought it for me and I'm not sure where to begin with it. It is an NT native and currently is about four feet tall not including the pot.
Graeme are you out there? I don't think il be taking this one along to the local bonsai folks monthly meeting, it doesn't fit in the car

Re: Alstonia actinophylla Milkwood
Hi TG, i know nothing about these species but having spent time in Darwin and would imagine it will handle repotting and pruning very well. I personally reckon the first piccy is the preferred front and would shorten all the leggy branches and see how it responds to pruning regards back budding.

Lovely bark!
Look forward to seeing how this progresses and responds to "treatment".
Cool!

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
