Hibbertia Scandens
Posted: October 7th, 2013, 9:08 pm
Hi all,
Picked up this nice Hibbertia from a small nursery cheap and was after advice.
Sorry, didnt get any before pictures but I decided to utilise every branch. Upon seeing this tree I thought 'natural' style, but after a bit of wire it turned into a windswept. I would prefer some branches to have a bit more movement but it seems the younger branches are more brittle and the older branches are quite pliable.
Am after a bit of critique and some advice regarding pruning and re-potting. Would love to get this out of the terrible water re-pellant nursery mix but at this stage im thinking it best to wait until after flowering??
As far as the windswept style goes, I prefer the sparse look to the canopy, and find it quite attractive, though I want the tree to be healthy.
Any advice on Hibbertia will be greatly appreciated
