As Ken said now would be a good time in Oz - I collected some about 5 weeks ago and they are going great guns. These are by far my favourite calli - I love the green colour of the foliage on a healthy tree. I would go easy on root reduction - they can be a bit touchy and I would gradually reduce the rootball rather than do it in one go.It's about bloomin' time!

Definitely Little John - great tree for that money As Ken said now would be a good time in Oz - I collected some about 5 weeks ago and they are going great guns.

Re: It's about bloomin' time!
Hey Josh,
Done pretty much nothing with them other than reduce the pot sizes a bit. The big ones both took a hammering in some hot dry weather we had while I was travelling. My wife and kids were all sick, so my bonsai's took the back burner.
Anyhow, they are all still alive, so hopefully I can start working on them next season.
Cheers,
Andrew
