G'day Paul,

That is an Acacia howittii by Denise that won 2nd place in our 2010 Australian Native Bonsai Awards.

There is also a beauty at the NBPCA - gallery/image_page.php?album_id=99&image_id=1157

how would you go about developing one of these , could one be field grown to get a big trunk or does that not work on these ?

they are quite slow growing, and putting them in the ground wil speed them so i see no reason why not
