Bonsai Reshaped Bottlebrush - Peppa
Posted: April 11th, 2022, 11:57 am
Hey all,
I was massively inspired to start on Natives after the demonstrations at the Bonsai Reshaped event. Then luckily managed to grab my first native at the silent auction, which worked out well as I was able to work on it in the workshop with Tony Ebb the next day.
The household bonsai naming committee settled on "Peppa" (or Pepper, need to confirm spelling).
Only just manged to find time to repot it over the weekend into this awesome pot I also bought from Luke Parsons at the markets afterwards. Great selection of pots! How good are Aussie Bonsai pots!!!
It was a little more pot bound than I expected, haha.
The design/plan is to go for a "fallen river side/wind swept" kind of vibe. I was going to trim back a lot of the exposed roots but think it's more natural to have them exposed. As if the tree has been tumbled a little over time?
Feedback always welcomed.
