[ID] New House, New Tree
Hi all,
I've just moved house in the last couple weeks. There is a tree planted in my front yard that is starting to flower. Internode length is nice but I am yet to see it in leaf.
Any thoughts?
If it's a good species for Bonsai I'm wondering if it's suitable for layers/cuttings? And lastly if it is then when is best?
Thanks all!
Pearcy.

Pretty!! Looks like a fruit tree of some sort, and I'd say there's a very good chance of it being suitable for bonsai!

At this stage I'd say plum. Not sure which one though.

Percy,
I agree with Kevin here - my vote is for Ornamental Pear.
Hope you get plenty of sunshine at your new place.

That looks like a plum to me especially the new shoot. Don't pears tend to have flowers in clusters?
Either way you have a number of air layers there for some broom styles or forest plantings I dare say

Re: [ID] New House, New Tree
It seems you've got some work to do Pearcy... Might wanna have a look at that Mel Linarifolia I see hiding in the background while you're at it!

Re: [ID] New House, New Tree
Thanks for the id all.
I have never needed to layer a frowering species before, should I be removing the flower buds/flowers above the layer in order to conserve energy when I layer??
Ryceman the Mel's line all the streets around these parts, there's one that size every 5-10 metres

Judging by your location.... I was pretty sure you'd say that....Pearcy001 wrote: Ryceman the Mel's line all the streets around these parts, there's one that size every 5-10 metres
Not so lucky where I am, plane trees aren't nearly as fun...!
