bogie
Do other people use this because they can't spell the full name. I am just an old foggy, with memory loss.
Anyway I have just bought a huge bogie and am not sure about working on it. What is the best time to hack it back into shape and wire etc.
The plant is abou 45cm dia and about 1.5m high. I will have to do quite q lot of work, but when I saw it at Tess's I couldn't walk away with out it. I haven't taken a photo yet. Will do so when I get back from Sydney next week. I am hopping to start working on it then too.

Re: bogie
I treat mine the same as my figs, but I am in Melb and they shouldn't be doing as well as mine down here!
You will prob treat them similar. Though they will like your climate better.
I call them bougies!

Re: bogie
I visited a nursery in Singapore earlier this year and was surprised to see what they had done with "huge bogies" they graft many different colours onto one tree. Not everyones cup of tea, but I liked it.

Re: bogie
Its another one,but only slightly smaller. I think it will take about 3-5 years work to get it to the Standard of Tess's one.

Re: bogie
Hehe yeah, I didn't think it would be that one = I just couldn't remember seeing any other big bougies. I want to get a decent sized bougie, but maybe not THAT big lol.

Re: bogie
Hi Lynette,
I have a very large Bogy and have found best results cutting back in Novemeber, i also defoliate and root prune in Mid summer (late Jan).....This way i can get it to flower approx 3 times per season.

Re: bogie
Up here in the warm, my bougie stump never stops flowering. It knows that the minute it stops the shears come out.
I am the black sheep of the Bonsai world.

Re: bogie
I do struggle to get mine to flower thinking it might need to stay in a hothouse all year!

Re: bogie
Get it to flower in the hothouse then take it out. That was what I did with a couple of mines. There's a type of bougs that only flower in winter. This type has fine hair under leaf side. The ones with smooth leaves should flower all year round. I also found that too much watering and fertilising promotes leaf grow and hinders flowering.Jarrod wrote:I do struggle to get mine to flower thinking it might need to stay in a hothouse all year!

Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Re: bogie
For there to be Bracts there needs to be flowers, granted that they are only small and insignificant!
