I will share this tree as it is very pretty this year. Not a Bonsai as such but i like the tree/pot combo and it makes me happy, and the bees happy, as there is slim pickings this time of year in Daylesford.

Plenty of wattle in flower, don't let those town bees fool you

Nice Pieris.

Bohdi that is a very nice Penjing display, it is also a very good combination, of pot /tree/ and the accent.

Thank you from a cold Daylesford it is nice.

From a cold Kelmscott.

Cheers Pup

Havent had bud burst with the wattles yet, only thing raising its head is the Pieris and the Sasanqua's. Another3-4 days yet for wattles.

Never looked at it as graceful. Thank you for a different insight.

my first post! woo hoo!

that's a lovely little tree, i went out and bought a peiris earlier today from the local garden centre, inspired by one I saw at my last club meeting in Mornington whuich was covered in flower and a gorgeous shape.

As I am a complete novice, can anyone give me some tips on caring and shaping this variety? I assume that I pretty much leave it alone until it finishes flowering, then I was thinking about a light root and top prune.

any/all advice will be welcomed.
