G'day,

It's time for a bit of light entertainment with another guessing competition.
The first person who correctly guesses the species and size of this tree will win 20 Japanese Black Pine seeds. Sorry but due to quarantine laws, if you are in TAS or WA you will only win an AusBonsai sticker.

• Only 1 guess per member.
• Height should be quoted in millimeters and is to be judged from the top rim of pot to the tip of the tree.

Guess the size and species correctly to win 20 JBP seeds.

Have fun :tu:

Regards,
Steven

P.S. Thanks to Scott Roxburgh for the seeds and Hackimoto for the picture of his tree

Geez. I would have said some kind of citrus, with that bark and those spurs on it. Full marks to you two for even knowing the wierd ones...

I'd guess around 600mm.

No marks at all to Hackimoto, he doesn't even have to wire the damn thing. That's got to be cheating.

(Very interesting though...)
