Baeckea virgata 'Clarence River' 3
This species is one of the greatest material to use for Bonsai, just like many of the Baeckea family.
The best all-round species of all the Baeckea I have tried.
The foliage is very thin and short, only about 10-20 mm long. They are very hardy, tolerate a heavy root reduction and can grow in both light and heavy mediums. They tolerate all levels of sun and tolerate constant cutting back.
The will shoot back from anywhere after a cutback and usually with a lot of new options of growth.
This was purchased online as small seedlings in about 2018
It has been placed into a small Bonsai pot by Adam Luczak (Poland)
