kunzea yamadoori
Recently I went to a dig with the native bonsai club up near Seymour. We collected quite a few trees. This is a small tree I found and dug out myself.I thought it would make a nice bunjin/lateri, what do you think?
thanks Jazz

Yep.
Potentially.
Would be good to see a pic without hands in the way.
Can it be safely compressed/bent a little?

Wrapping with Raffia and wire they can be bent. Very carefully tho.Boics wrote:Yep.

Not much else but literati with that trunk IMHO.
Pot up and let recover then look at it.

Re: kunzea yamadoori
Thanks Boics, I thought it had potential too. I plan to bring the foliage back closer once it back buds and recovers. I may try bending it a little but it actually has more movement than it looks in the photos. Here are some photos with my hand out of the wayBoics wrote:Yep.

Thanks Ken, it will be the first tree I have ever tried bending so will be interesting to try. I might get dad to helpkcpoole wrote:Wrapping with Raffia and wire they can be bent. Very carefully tho.Boics wrote:Yep.

Re: kunzea yamadoori
I think it's actually got a really nice lean trunk with some character.
Perhaps just cut back to the first branch during the growing season and see where buds pop?
Lovely pot too!
