Out of interest Pup, how long was it from collection to the point you called these bonsai. I often see trees collected that would take 5-10 years to be anything special and you could probably grow a better in that time. I dnt think you could improve much on these though. Once again amazing trees crafted by an artist.Pup wrote:A couple of unexciting collected Natives
. All collected with permission from private land and rescued from construction site of Roadways. All Melaleuca species.
The below pictures were uploaded to Pup's gallery back in Aug 2009. But that still doesn't tell you when he dug them up. They have changed a bit.Josh wrote: Out of interest Pup, how long was it from collection to the point you called these bonsai.

Thanks Pup, they have come along way since collecting. Surely you can tell me were you collect from, I won't tell anyone-I promisePup wrote:Hello for relevant points all of my trees are collected either on private land , or with a scientific licence for collecting relative flora. With the proviso that it was not sold traded, or given away.
Josh the tree in the national collection was collected on my sons farm in Denmark WA in 1995, on the 20th of February to be precise. The reason I know this it is my late fathers birthday. In 2001 it was given a merit award by Ernie Kuo, he was the headliner for the convention in Fremantle that year.
Most of my trees go from collection to show tables in 4 years, some have taken less. Collection time also varies from summer time to winter, and in between.
The semi cascade that is used for the Shohin page was collected in 2005, has always grown in a Bonsai pot again in summer in Denmark.
Cheers Pup.
ps I am always careful about disclosing my collection site where about's.
