Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Thanks for the up-date Sno. Is that pot one that is usually used for growing plants in a pond? One more question if you don't mind - does this flower, and if so what colour?
Keen to see it potted and in flower?

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Hi Watto . On the pot it's actually got written 'orchid pot' but every time I have seen them elsewhere , people have called them 'pond pot' and I have seen water lillies growing in them . I get them from a hydroponics shop , from memory for $3 each . They are basically like a sieve but they should have a better uv stability .
I have not seen this Leptospermum in flower yet and I'm not sure which one it is . I am leaning towards Leptospermum juniperus ,which if it is would give it a white flower . Time will tell.
Cheers craig

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Is that snow on the pot edges?
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Update . I wasn't happy with this tree's direction . So new pot and planting angle . I'm a little bit nervous about doing this at this time of year ( I played with the roots a bit ) but the tree was healthy and I am hoping it will recover before the weather turns to cold .

Re: [Sno] Leptospermum
Thanks Ken . It's only about a 10 degree different angle but it really makes a difference . I'm learning all the time .
Thanks Andrew .I walked past it this morning and for the first time it looked right . Now I have to work on the branches .
Gavin . The pot is made by Miroslava Randova it's a wood fired pot .
