AusBonsai

Hi Guys
I been growing this little guy in a pot from seed for about 7months I'm think about placeing him into my ground Grow area in spring.
Does anyone have any experience with them in Aus? Due to my area it will only get one season in the ground
Much to cold for the little guys.

All the information i have found says there a full sun tree. but i get leaf burn every time i place in full sun. ( as you can see from my image )

Heres what i want to Aim for over the next 5 to 7 years
Any information on how they do or you do with them would be great.
Got to dream BIg

Do you have a Latin for this one?

What i was told was : Samanea Saman Brazilian Rain Tree (Monkey pod).

This time the label was correct and they do make a nice bonsai. It has now been reclassified as an Albizia saman. However you might have difficulty keeping it alive in Wagga Wagga as it is a tropical species.

Doing a test with that right now.
I have one inside growing and one out side all the time.
Tho its only been down to 1 and 2 its still doing ok. its the -1 to -5 we some times get might push it.
( No die back on out side or leaf drop just yet )

I'm kinda hopeing they both live as i only have two. and growing from seed takes time.

I think your experiment will end in a predictable disaster for at least one of the two plants if you subject it to those sort of temperatures. I'd be more inclined to bring both indoors, especially at night when temps are at their lowest. The problem here though is having night temps higher than day time temps as most plants don't particularly like this a it is not the natural sequence that they have evolved with. When I say bring them in, I don't mean into a heated room. I mean into a laundry or other room where the temps do not fall below zero but there is no artificial heating. This way they can still have a cool night but somewhat warmer day. Hope this helps. The joys of trying to grow plants outside of their climatic zones. I too have lost many cool climate and tropical plants trying to do just that.
