Baeckea virgata 'Clarence River' 4

This species is one of the greatest material to use for Bonsai, just like many of the Baeckea family.

The best all-round species of all the Baeckea I have tried.
The foliage is very thin and short, only about 10-20 mm long. They are very hardy, tolerate a heavy root reduction and can grow in both light and heavy mediums. They tolerate all levels of sun and tolerate constant cutting back.
The will shoot back from anywhere after a cutback and usually with a lot of new options of growth.

This was purchased online as small seedlings in about 2018

It has been placed into a Bonsai pot by Roman Husmann (Germany)

I merely just keep trimming this back. Its incredibly hardy from drought, root reduction and low sun. Very highly recommended species for Bonsai.
