Nice. Gosh, I love the first 2 pots. What are they and where did you get them....beautiful.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

Re: Coastal Teetree
Really works as a cascade for me! Do you find the species high maintenance? Been looking at these for a while (not that I need any more stock from the spousal perspective!).
Those pots are very nice - as is the one you reported the twin trunk euc into. Is it from the same source?

Re: Coastal Teetree
Hi John.
Thanks for sharing these lovely tree's.
I am a massive fan of Leptospermum Laevigatum and find that these are one of the most iconic Australian Bonsai with very natural (life size) specimens to be found in the coastal areas around Victoria and beyond.
As a result I find this species to be particularly inspiring for Bonsai.
John,
Seeing as you have a few of these and have cared for them over the years would you be so kind as to share some of your maintenance routines with us?
Ie re-potting, pruning, fertiliser etc etc?
Thanks,

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Coastal Teetree
Thanks Boics, teatrees are very hard to dig and not many will make it, if they do DONOT repot for 12 months or more fertilise every two weeks with power feed nitrosol--or Charlie carp once they start showing signs of new growth just let them go you can then repot, once repoted like all native bonsai they will take up heaps of water.
This is my biggest one
Thanks John
