Re: Australia Day, Australian Native display
That Blueberry ash spurred my enthusiasm for the species! I have a couple growing on now. If I manage to get anything even remotely close to yours Peter, I'll be a very happy camper.

Re: Australia Day, Australian Native display
Wow , what a beautiful selection of Natives .I will add another two. A Kunzea ,which was originally a twin trunk but somehow no 2 trunk got lost along the way. The second a Leptospermum rotundifolium ,hopefully some flowers this year. Cheers John.

Re: Australia Day, Australian Native display
This has been really fantastic, and the quality of the trees is first class.
My effort for the day is a 5 point display of shohin on a display stand made out of an old paling fence.
Melaleuca in a Pat Kennedy pot; Leptospermum in a pot by Viv (a potter in our club); Kunzea in a Penny Davis pot; Banksia in a Maria Hewettson pot and an accent that is probably not an Aus but its in a Pat Kennedy pot.

Re: Australia Day, Australian Native display
I've learnt something new today. Was not aware that coprosma were Aussie natives so thanks for adding to my education TT.
Hope that is an Aussie and not some Kiwi or Hawaiian interloper

Have enjoyed seeing all these trees (& pots) so far, but wondering where all the casuarina growers are?

A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

It is one trunk though, it was split at ground level after a fire. I was a delicate operation making sure it did not break, when it was collected. Which is not so bad when it gets repotted as the roots have strengthened.
