Re: Why not come along
Old man, its raffle plants not auction plants that are commonly complete rubbish.
Besides golden oldy bonsai and logic dont mix, after all people would rather pay 500$ to a grand on bad stock than pay the same for a fully styled piece of art.

Thanks for the invite, but it looks like I will be stuck on the other side of the continent.
Is that a Geraldton wax in the second photo? Any experience with them as bonsai?

Yes Pasquale it is a Geraldton Wax ( Chamelaucium uncinatum) red pink or white flowers!!.pasquale wrote:Thanks for the invite, but it looks like I will be stuck on the other side of the continent.

This is confusing sometimes as some of the other species have the same colour flowers.
I treat these the same as Callistemon ( bottle brush ) so if you have success with them you should not have any trouble.
I believe most Bonsai enthusiasts grow them in the East.
They are Drought and frost tender. I am sorry you cant make it.

Re: Why not come along
I have wondered about them as bonsai, but this is the first ive ever heard of their use. I've never seen them in bonsai nurseries either. Do you have any in your collection currently Pup?Pup wrote:Yes Pasquale it is a Geraldton Wax ( Chamelaucium uncinatum) red pink or white flowers!!.pasquale wrote:Thanks for the invite, but it looks like I will be stuck on the other side of the continent.

Re: Why not come along
No I do not in the past when I had them I found them to be very forgiving. This one is a long term project as it needs to have the foliage brought back as with most natives I find it is better to cut back to green foliage the let it develop new growth. As I said treat them like Bottle brush. Another very nice one to try is Thyptomene. Very similar small leaves and flowers. I had a couple of both varieties two I was offered what I could not refuse, the others went courtesy of the five fingered discout brigade, before hot wire to keep the animals in. Hope this helps in some way. As always PupJayC wrote:I have wondered about them as bonsai, but this is the first ive ever heard of their use. I've never seen them in bonsai nurseries either.
