Re: [Hugh Grant] Baekea brevifolia
I love the flat, wide, twisting trunk of this one Hugh. Look forward to seeing the update in another 12 months once it fills out a bit more.
Cheers,
Pearcy.

Re: [Hugh Grant] Baekea brevifolia
I dig this one Hugh.
I wonder if you'll get flowers?
I manage to consistently get flowers on my Baekea and they are beautiful little things!

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

Re: [Hugh Grant] Baekea brevifolia
Really nice. Looks like it will be a serious contender, well done and nice stock.
A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

This guy should fill out rather quickly, the foliage is course but they ramify closely so should come good density soon with some new growth.
