Re: Large Hakea suaveolens
Nice work John,
We do not often see these as bonsai, (perhaps because of the difficulties you mentioned) but it is really good to see the results that can be achieved.

Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

Re: Large Hakea suaveolens
I collected two hakea macrocarpa back in August which are shooting well - so far, so good.
There doesn't seem to be much information about hakea as bonsai so, while yours is suaveolens not microcarpa, any advice you have to offer re hakea care would be much appreciated,
