acacia colletioides july 17 smaller.jpg
Hi,

Quite new to bonsai and love the idea of bonsai'ing and learning about native trees.
Liked the look of this Acacia I found as tube stock with it's unusual spike leaves, was really root bound which took me some time unravel and trim. I repotted and styled and somehow cut back alot of the spiky leaves that I initally liked.
It's been alive since almost a couple of weeks and has survived a couple of storms so I'm quite pleased.
Thought I'd share

Might be beautiful when you look at it but those leaves are really sharp :shake: Gloves (or very tough skin) when wiring and pruning this one :roll:
Mine have not ramified very much. Still sticks in pots after 5 years :palm:
