Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
So I pruned it back in early march . That was a mistake because it hasn't done any thing since even with the warmer than usual Autumn . Anyway winter is here , so I took it out of the glass house for a bit of a snow shot .

Cute ![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
It's not often we see Bonsai in Australia in a setting with Snow
At least you have a plain background

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Awesome! Let it snow I say!
How much have you picked up now sno?
Fingers crossed another big dump to very low levels on the weekend.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Thanks Ken . The photo was actually quite difficult to take , what you don't see is the wind . It got quite gusty and cccold .
Hi Boics . Where I am (20 kms from Kosi about 1200m ) we got about 20cm . Up the hill easily would have doubled that . Snowed all day and it's still coming .

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
This one isn't going to make the grade . I pruned it back quite heavily after the February update hoping for some growth in autumn which didn't happen . While it has started to grow now it looks more stick than anything . I like the direction it's heading and this summer I hope to make better progress .
Cheers Sno

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Nice !
I've never worked with this species, not sure if it even exist here...
What's your plan for the summer work?

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Hi xtolord . This summer I'm going to let the apex sacrifice branch grow to try and fix the apex . I like the movement in the trunk but at the moment the tree kinda looks like a bent sharp pencil . The second branch on the left needs sorting out as well , what you can't see in the photo is it leaves the trunk at a weird angle .
There is quite a few different species of Leptospermum , I'm still not sure which this one is . They are a great tree to grow if you can get hold of some seed .
Thanks BB are you growing any Leptospermum ? Around here (snowy mountains) most leptospermum are understory plants so they grow well in shady conditions .
Thanks Ken . A way to go yet . Hoping for a warm summer up here now that winter is over .

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Just L. Petersonii. I tried my hand at L. scoparium, ...but my hand killed them, so unless my feet can do a better job, I'll just stick to PetersoniiSno wrote: Thanks BB are you growing any Leptospermum ?

I find they respond very well where I am and tolerate shade well. I think Scoparium just doesn't tolerate being cut back hard
