Acacia - neglected but still flowering

Post by Watto »

Recently I posted a story on this poor neglected Acacia and I did promise to show it in flower, and here it is. I will give this a much needed re-pot as soon as the flowering is over.

Beautiful Love the Acacia. They thrive on a bit of neglect. I have killed a few with a repot. Love yours thanks for sharing. :D

Watto (I feel like I'm talking to myself) mate I LOVE that tree any chance of a photo with a little more trunk?
Is it that high out of the put coz' it's pushing itself out in need of a re-pot?
And based on the thread I wish you good luck in the re-pot.
Not having any Acacia's myself I can offer no opinion/advise on that but my other natives I repot in August before the spring break but I am in North Queensland.
keep us posted, very nice tree

Watto don't disturb the roots too much and it will be ok. These are one of my favourite for bonsai. Yours is beautiful :D
