Re: Prickly Tea Tree
Lovely little tree.
I'm not so sure that the style is that natural for an Aussie native but the result is certainly pleasing to the eye nonetheless.
I'd like to hear a bit about your care and maintenance if you'd be so kind?
Cheers.

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

Re: Prickly Tea Tree
I think I agree with Steven - I would be concerned about the trunk fattening where all those lower branches come out at the same level. And yes nice photography

Re: Prickly Tea Tree
It's in a course mix of scoria, zeolite , fine pine bark, and diatomite, watered everday, misting spray during wet season, feed all year with seamungus caked on top, monthly replacement of seamungus a bit of superthrive foliar spray every now and then, repotted in mid autumnBoics wrote:Lovely little tree.

I'm not sure how it will develop with the trunk thickening up but it will be interesting to see how it will develop, I wouldn't be concerned i'd just be curious
