Phebalium squamulosum 2

This species has been a trial and has proven to be a very successful bonsai candidate.

Phebalium squamulosum stems and the underside of the foliage can have a slight rusty coloured tinge to it.
It shoots all over the tree and back-buds really well, but not usually from the base.
It tolerates heavy root reduction with no problem at all
It tolerates both over-watering and drought.
They are highly tolerant of shade.

Potted up into its first Bonsai pot. Adam Luczak pot (Poland)

The look so beautiful when they flower.
