Collected melaleuca

Post by DaveZ »

This is a little Melaleuca I collected from a riverbank a couple years ago. I've played with wiring branches down in typical bonsai style, but I don't think that's the way I'll ultimately go. Still playing with a few things to work out what I'm doing with this one. Just happy to see it recovered and growing well again.

Cheers,

This little guy has been putting on some good growth, but I had still been at a loss as to what I could do with it.

Decided today was the day that a decision had to be made, so I pulled it out of the pot, had a scratch around under the soil surface, tilted it this way and that, couldn't really find anything appealing. Then I laid it right over and fell in love. I think this is now the future for this tree. I like it anyway.
