Wollemi Pines

Post by SimonL »

Hi,

I recently came into possession of about 30 little Wollemi Pine seedlings. I was wondering if anyone had any Wollemi bonsai's and also what styles do people think would suit the Wollemi's growing habit.

Thanks.

Simon

unfortunagtely, as bonsai they will not be real good :-( as difficult to style as a nice "tree"

Great in Pots though :-)
