Wonderful trees and inspiration.
@Squizzy - I'd often wondered if anyone had tried one of these. The soft foliage is fantastic. Nice one

3 posted; 3 brilliant - love the unique style you exposed in each of the three. And isn’t that reflective of our natives ... Top drawer all. Well done John.
Boics - glad you posted yours too. A thread for all shapes and sizes. I really like your tree. [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Re: Australia Day bonsai display 2019
Good to see such variation here - nice delicate looking tree you have Boics, I really like the styling & John that Kunzea…well ..."STREWTH!!"
Benny that's an very impressive paperbark - gotta be happy looking at that each day!
Can't really compete against those big bad boys, but I can add a fragile two tree Leptospermum Petersonii (Lemon scented tea) which is still training me.

Re: Australia Day bonsai display 2019
Yep, what I love about many of these postings is the rugged, weathered nature of them. KC&R’s post here continues the vein
Many of these trees take me back to any given coastal walk where trees of all shapes and sizes of native trees pop up and out of the shrub.
