I collected this one from a job - it was being stood on and driven over in a car park. Current height is 300mm and the cost was $0.

There seems to be a bit of bar branching in the middle. Cut it hard soon. Good luck.

I didn't see the posts before - am waiting for it to grow a bit more first. I have found if you let these dry out the can die
It is progressing slower than I would like.

Well I have a crappy photo - these trees seem susceptible to drying out and it nearly died. Even though I have seen them in neglected gardens they seem to need more attention when in a pot.

Another slow grower - plus I haven't fertilised as much as my NYE resolution promised

At least it is still green and alive

So only the necessary sustenance has been given to this tree. Happy to note it has some flowers so I must be doing something right

Happy with the progress on this one - have been concentrating on watering and feeding this one.

So it's better news with this one - it has flowered since the last update and has some buds again

This is in need of repotting - I think it will stay in it's current pot to grow on a little. While I was away it went well probably due to the watering system. I also fertilised a little more. I will develop the branching more before it goes into a bonsai pot. I feel these trees likes being wetter rather than being dry in the pot.
