I run a small bonsai nursery at Woollamia not to far from Huskisson. Bonsai at the Bay. My name is Mason Keane. I was just wondering if any ausbonsai members have stumbled across my nursery. I would love to chat. Brett Summers led me to this sight. Night all.

Thanks Steven for the response I will work out how to load photos onto the sight in the next day or two and burden you with pictures. I am at 6 Streamside St Woollamia 2540. About 20 minutes south of Nowra. I teach during the day(high school) but there is generally someone at the nursery all the time.

Hey Mason great to see you here. Believe me the pictures will not be a burden to us

As Mason knows I visited the Nursery a couple of months back and was very impressed with the stock he has for sale.

Now I must be getting a bit better at navigating the site, very impressed with the collective knowledge floating around the sight. Having a nursery and growing area in the sticks I become a little insular with new ideas as a lot of my growing is clip and grow wait a couple seasons then style and the routine continues.

So it is wonderful reading about others experiments and work you are doing in bonsai. I have started platting maples and oaks when they are year old seedlings and am starting to have wonderful success with them now two and three years down the track.

I will post some pictures on the weekend of how the trucks have fused together. Very cool.

Here are a couple of shots of some ground grown crabapples and elms we have done at Bonsai at the Bay. Enjoy I hope.

Gday Mason, and welcome to AB.C!
I've taken the liberty of rotating your Crabapple pic - I hope you don't mind. What a whopper! Interesting buttressing going on too.
Keep those photos coming!
Thanks.
FlyBri.

G, day Mason Sorry for being slack and not giving you a typical A B welcome but I have been busy trying to sort out my freaking video camera.
The other reason the real one is I am pissed of coz I cant import crabapples.
That is some serious stock.you have there. Wireing will give you quicker results.
The other thing is I doubt I will stumble any time soon. Again welcome to the site AusBonsai

Thank you for the compliments re: stock trees, and thank you for rotating the crabapple, it does look a lot better.
Just thought I would show you a ground grown Japanese black pine, then after its first style (still rough but getting better) and some chunky tridents (no leaf) and a couple solid elms (ground six years).
Thanks Mase

Just an after thought here is my Acacia Howitii (excuse spelling) last spring, we have bees which helps.
