AusBonsai

This one of my Melaleuca rhaphiophylla's I believe is as natural as you can get for them. There is a hollow on the left just above the coke can for comparison.

So is this the quintessential Australian style there is so much talk about? I just thought I would see what reaction we get
I am sorry about the back ground, but it too heavy to move without a very healthy strong young mate.
Who is away for the long weekend.

Funny you should ask.
This one is for sale, you can see it in the for sale Pages, under for sale Pup.
Have a look it will give you the price plus what you need to do.

Nothing like a plug. No Auction for this one.
At the price I am asking it is very cheap compared to the one in Canberra. Pup

Wow, nice tree! The bark looks almost like a pine in the way it cracks and fissures.

Mr Pup: Does the spider come with the tree, or is that an optional extra?

Great Mel as always! I look forward to seeing all of them in person (and maybe shifting them around the place for you ).

Thanks.

Well if the tree is sold to one of you guy's from the East he will have to find another home. I don't think you want any more arachnose.
Do you. Looking forward to it mate as I said just ring if you don't fancy driving.Pup

I was going to say that it needs to be straightened up in the pot but then realised that that would be un Australian

Great Tree Pup!.

Is it quintessentially Aussie bonsai? It is ceratinly how I saw Melaleuca growing near Esperance last year.

Aussie trees vary so much I think there will eventually be a number of well known Aussie styles eventually. Aussie fig, banksia, casuarina, Melaeuca etc.

I love your Melaleuca in the collection at the NBPCA. It is very much like the way the East coast Melaleuca grow and more rounded, rather than flatter topped.
Keep up the good work.

This one might be up for grabs in 2011 if I don't sell it and Sue agree's

Ooh, that would be nice.

Question re pot.

It looks very smooth and polished which doesn't quite match the rugged bark of the tree and natural style.. Any thoughts on pot? It may be difficult to find aussie pots that big though.

That is it we have very few place's now to buy pots.
I am sure we have potter's here that could do it justice, but my allowance will not go to another 200 plus pot

Until it is sold or it will stay where it is coz its to bloody heavy to move around much. I do have a large round Chinese pot.
I have another tree in that is a bit more rugged. Might look at that as an option.

Looks like a big tree so I doubt if you could get something for $200 or even near it. The Chinese pots sometimes do suit the australian trees better than the japanese pots. The pot it is in looks very high quality!

I do like the pot it is in but I also did not wish to give the bonsai the back hand compliment "Oh I love the pot!"

I am sure you understand what I am saying.

Are there any outstanding M cuticularis over there?. I have mostly seen M rhaphiophylla.

As yet Grant nothing large some smaller one's. Dianne had a nice group of them but her Bonsai sitter's were the one's from hell
Yes I do understand what you are saying
She has a few more started, But at this time only small. The tree's are there if you have the mind to go and get them .

I HAVE enough tree's that is why I did not hang around at last week's auction in the rain.
