Thanks Gavin, this species of wattle has feathery fern like leaves with the new growth coming in purple. ( my reason for choosing it) story of my life I'm always attracted to the complicated stuff lol. Oh well learn the hard stuff and the easier stuff will be a walk in the park.

Hi guys
I recently brought a zig zag wattle, because I saw a tree with these beautiful curves winding through this tree from the ground up. I think in some years it will be amazing

Cheers

Hi smith,
I also have a zig zag wattle they are a beautiful species mine is just a potted tree I'm not sure how they would go as bonsai. They do have rather large leaves and are a spiny species but I am just a newbie so I have lots to learn and will look forward to seeing what you do with this tree.

So let's see the photos.....

Ok ok ok…

My neighbours have, what turns out to be a Queensland Silver Wattle (being Victorian, I’d not seen Wattles like this before) Last spring I collected a whole heap of seeds and after awhile worked out that I needed to scarify them.

I have two growing well (funny given how many I collected) and another two so so.

Interested if anyone has experience on this Acacia?

I may post a progression series of them later. Keen to see how they go.
