Syzygium Australe 'Garden Lights'
Posted: January 21st, 2014, 4:20 pm
So walking through the local garden centre (after some more cutting paste before my one runs out... better safe than sorry 
) I stumbled onto a little dwarf lilli-pilly. I grabbed the best looking with a nice healthy trunk, branch structure and superb foliage to see what could be done with it. Now I'm no expert on these guys, but has anyone ever worked with dwarf syzygium before? is there anything that I should be wary of when I begin working with the tree?
This is, to be honest, my first native in almost 3 years
(Yea I know, not good...)
In the absolute worst case, I'll let my nephew begin working on this guy as his 'introduction to bonsai' so he can get used to the techniques and learn a few skills since he has a lot of interest in my figs
.
Cheers,
Trevor
