[quote="noah78"]Ok From my 3 years of growing bonsai in rockhampton. From best performing to least

Noah, this is the most perfect list I could wish for. My state of confusion has disappeared since getting these last few replies tonight from you and others and I feel as though I have some direction at last.
Thanks so much folks

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this "cry for help" of mine. I didn't personally address everyone but that was not intended. I guess I'm treating this forum as though it was my club and I'm needing answers to all of the thoughts that go through my head and it's like sitting at a table and talking to you all. I really do appreciate the time and thought you have all put in to give me the direction I need. Wouldn't it be good if we could all get together for a big meet
cheers Loretta

..........Might go and have another look or I may just have to take a drive to Mackay for all those fabulous trees Glenda mentioned

Loretta

Funnily enough, Loretta, I got most of mine from Bunnings! The Daintree pine is lovely - but I got it from a local nursery, with a trunk about 3cm and standing about 1 metre. If you would like to take a trip to Mackay we could go on a nursery crawl together! I could also give you some cuttings.......

Powder puff are calliandra spp. by the way.

If any of the people up north are after them i will have some solid stock and where from 2 inch trunk to 4-5inch which will be ready late spring/early to mid summer. let me know if you guys up north are interested

Jamie

Most definately Jamie, all you can get here are twigs at the nurseries. Definately keep me posted on that one

Be careful with those calliandras, Loretta. They look suspiciously like sensitive weed's big brother - except the leaves don't fold when touched and the flowers are red. My husband kept threatening to rip mine out of its pot, so I gave back to my mother who had bought it in the first place, and she has it planted in her yard

Glenda I would love to do that with you. As you know I'm a shift worker and work alot of weekends but I certainly could work it out. I'd love it and it will be nice to meet you too Thanks for the offer
