Will a hollow trunk be better or worse than a dead wood trunk? I cannot see a hollow trunk changing the look of this tree from this viewing angle as there is no effective changes to trunk diameter.
Embrace the changes as nature takes its course.

Re: Spring flowers
Yes, from memory you made a bold design choice to stand the kunzea up - precariously on its slender trunk - it has a wild look about it that evokes something only nature could conspire to do.

Re: Spring flowers
I found this in a Canberra nursery last summer and it’s flowering at the moment . I am hoping it won’t be too temperamental to bonsai because the flower although small is beautiful.

Re: Spring flowers
This Kunzea parvifolia is just about in full flower now . There has been a lot of rain so the flowers are a little bit knocked around .

Re: Spring flowers
Thanks John . Light snow today . But my toes tonight were freezing ! When I was outside putting trees on the ground . The wind is a little bit gusty tonight so better to put trees where I can still find them in the morning .boom64 wrote: ↑November 14th, 2021, 7:13 pm Looking fantastic Craig.

Re: Spring flowers
My natives are about to go nuts … the future of this tree is in Penjing …with a much sparser top and training that branch trailing down the left hand side and it becoming a feature … but for now, I will enjoy the show and the fluffy top.
