Nice collection Boics

It’s late but still great to see some of your natives

The prickly Mel is my favourite but I keep seeing it with the first two branches gone. What’s your plan for it.

Really nice Boics.
I think the Lepto Obovatum is my fave, pity it was a bit late for the votes!
This was a great thread concept... well thought out Squizzy. :flag:

Great collection Boics ,I am with Ryceman , the Obovatum is a real gem. Love the movement and a perfect amount of branches/foliage. Well done. Cheers John.

Hi Boics posted one earlier but it disappeared.
What I said was very nice and I will make room for them on my benches for when the powers that be let me get them here.

Cheers mate.

Better late than never ... :whistle: :palm:

Callistemon Sieberi ... about 30cms high (maybe just under). One of my few natives that has graduated to an actual bonsai pot!

I probably should think about getting a new thread going soon so we are a bit more organised for this years display. I assume there are a few of you keen?

For sure, it would be awesome to see more natives and hopefully updates of the great trees shown already.
