Hey all,
Here's a few pics of a 'lavender star', I bought around January 2010. This is one of my favourite trees, it has heaps of flowers around this time. I have posted pics of this tree before and listened to other users advice...this is where its at.
Pictures arent that great...Let me know what you think...Cheers.

Re: Grewia Progession...
Awesome job and a credit to your work and the advise given to this point.
My focus now starts to look towards the nebari as this is where I think the tree can obtain it's next round of improvements.
On this note...
What happened to the Nebari?
There is a reasonably strong base and flare from the time of purchase - this seems to be gone in the more recent pics?

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

I think some of the surface roots dried out, or may have been repotted below the soil surface. I may have to remove the large root at the base and start new nebari with smaller roots. I will see if it is possible to raise the tree higher to expose more roots next repot.

Here's a few more pictures of this tree a few days ago. Was not sure where to go from here so just did some pruning.
