Acacia Howitii wanted

Post by Bonbon »

Hi everyone, I am after a mature Acacia Howitii. Stock plant preferred but styled bonsai will be fine too.
Thick trunk of > 5cm preferred and will negotiate the price accordingly.

Thank you

I think the regular Acacia howitii is not used for bonsai yet, as far as i know. Many people work on "Acacia howitii 'prostrata'" which has more of a weeping habbit, and looks great. The prostrate form can be very expensive, with Ray being by far the cheapest place to get it. Being a form, it does not grow true from seed. Also, its is VERY difficult to take cuttings from, hence the usually high price.

Yes, that's the one. "Prostrata"
Thank you for reminding.
