AusBonsai

Hi all.

Following on the theme of the discussion generated on natives, I thought we should have an Australian native bonsai display for Australia Day. Its a chance for a bit of healthy competition, discussion and notoriety for your best native bonsai.

Simply post your photo in this thread and we will create a poll on Australia Day for members to vote for their favourite.

Great Idea Squizz!
I don't have any natives, but am a HUGE fan of them, will be keeping a close eye on the thread!

Cheers,

Ok I will kick it off

Banksia integrifolia

Height is 200mm

Trained since 2013 Squizzy

Wow, you have set the standard a bit high.
I also think its a great idea and will have a look over some old photos.

Love it!
My natives are all bursting with potential, but definitely pre-bonsai. Looking forward to sone inspiration from this competition!!!

Hi Squizzy , great idea .Love the big bad boy Banksia.I will go the opposite end of the spectrum. A thin wispy trio of Baekea brevifolias . Cheers John.

Cheers john

I was beginning to think it was going to be a one tree display.

This is a new tree I haven’t seen if yours. I know you have a few natives. I like it.

It’s good to celebrate what we have to offer here in Australia. I feel we have only just uncovered the tip of the iceberg with our native trees. In our defence we must only be 50 years or so in at this stage. There is a bit of an age gap with some of the other countries.

People are probably waiting until Friday to post.
This Baeckia needs lots of work and I didn't intend to post this one, but just to keep the post ticking along...... And it is in flower.
As previously stated I do intend to post a proper one soon.

Here's one to keep yours company Sqizz, a bit bigger at 800mm high.
Hope it uploads not real good at this shari,too bloody old.

Haven’t seen that one before Paul

Where have you been hiding that?

Squizzy

Ah Ha,Squizz,you have not seen everything I have got,only bring the babies to class.
Si you must be able to see it,didn't come up like it should do,I don't know what i did.

Could one of you Guru's Squizz ,Steven or Ken put it on there properly I do not know how to do it,I seem to have saved it as a PDF file,not good with computers.

Here you go Paul.

Hope the quality is ok, was just a screenshot and crop from my phone.

Cheers,
Pearcy.
