Syzygium australe - Syzygium australe

its 24 cm tall with a tokoname bonsai pot.
Young shoots are flimsy and can be difficult to wire.

Nice one eyedia. Looks like the "Tiny Trev" cultivar or similar. I have a couple rescued from a carpark where they were getting battered by cars. Was yours from a garden plant?

Can we see it from a few different angles

EDIT: I just noticed your favourite species is Mel. quinquenervia. Do you have photos of them? We'd all love to see them. :beer:
