Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
I guess you are thinking of Microcachrys tetragona or Creeping Pine, AKA creeping strawberry pine.The first one Sno, is that one of those creepers from Tasmania that produces a red fruit?
I have a couple here but they have been extremely slow to produce anything approaching a trunk. All branches drop straight down as it seems to have no support of its own. I noticed that the male plant is releasing pollen today so looking forward to fruits on the female plant again this summer.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
My little entry. I can't take full credit for the work on these trees but I have had them for a little while I just hope I can do the original owners justice.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Hawthorns caused plenty of comment at the Canberra show and now mine has some flowers open so I've rushed it onto the bench.
Did not have time for a stand or even to clean up the weeds so probably won't be asked back next year.

Ca'on mate, presentation is everything. Although you get extra points for putting up a hawthorn.

I like the fact this exhibition can run for long enough to get all the flowering trees covered.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Here are some of my trees that are now in spring mode. Nothing much doing in the flowers dept. at the moment, but these are greening nicely.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Just to encourage shy members to contribute I thought I would put in a few of mine. And I have never seen a bonsai in 3D so should be put in the novice section.
Melaleuca Copper Tops, purchased September 2015 in a 10 cm pot because I thought I saw a tree in it, took me another year to see it again and have since questioned if I had only seen a boring street tree 39 cms high 5 cms Diameter at soil level. Boxwood, don't know which species. This little tree was collected in September 2016 after a council worker knocked it off with a mower and was only hanging on by a single root. The hedge was planted around 1983 so almost 40 years old. 40cms high 7cms diameter at soil level.
Hope you like them, I will add a couple of little uns next week
Casurina cunninghamiana x cristata, purchased in February 2014 as a forestry seedling, 30cms high, diameter a ground level 2.5cm
Eucalyptus melliodora, purchased Feburary 2014 as a forestry seedling, grown in a large pot for two years when on repotting it had a two mtr long root that was unceremoniously cut off which created the accidental but fortunate scar in the trunk. 76 cms high, 7 cm diameter at soil level.Melaleuca Copper Tops, purchased September 2015 in a 10 cm pot because I thought I saw a tree in it, took me another year to see it again and have since questioned if I had only seen a boring street tree 39 cms high 5 cms Diameter at soil level.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Scaddid, I like the trunk of your melliodora - a Euc that doesn't have scars just hasn't lived...
And welcome.
