Will E. tereticornis make a viable bonsai specimen?

[Kevin]

Hi again Kevin,
I checked my seedlings of Eucs this morning and I do have a tereticornis in there. So like you, I will also experiment. Though the seedling was quite pot bound, so I hope it comes good after the repot I gave it.

It could also be seen as a challenge, as I am more than happy to accept his friendly glove smack, and will come back here to this thread in about 10 years time to show him my attempts - good or bad.

Hello Rory,

I am very interested in how your E. tereticornis is progressing?

Any photos would be a bonus.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kev,

Mate I am sorry, I should have stressed... they were seedlings (i think I started with 2), as in literally they were seeds about 18 months ago i think??? I'll take a look tomorrow if I can remember, but I don't think they are even worth photographing.

Sorry mate, I remembered today (bad memory).

It is about 30cm tall and 5mm thick. There is nothing worth photographing at this stage, sorry.
But it appears very healthy so far and growing well, because in my backyard that is always a plus with so much shade to contend with. It had to survive over 8 weeks of winter with only 1 hour of sun a day, and if it was cloudy for that hour.... not good! It puts many evergreens into a slow dormancy or it kills them. For me the glass is always half full, so fortunately I no longer have to worry about the species' that don't tolerate this, because they're all dead.
