AusBonsai

This caught my eye a few months ago hope someone can positively identify it Leaves are about 80-110mm in length , saw tooth serration smooth on top and soft velvet type underneath .Fruit has a distinct textured skin like a Nashi pear . The $1 coin is for comparison of the size of the fruit .Bark on the tree is smooth and the growth habit is a column .This tree is around 8-10 years old .Cheers Alpineart

Identifaction solved

Hi Craig , have to agree after a google search , an amelanchier it is .I will keep an eye on it for the final colour of the fruit and in Spring for the flower .Thanks for the I.D .Cheers Alpine

Hi Alpine, Amelanchier are very beautiful shrubs not very often seen in this country. I have no idea how they go as bonsai but if all fails they make great garden plants for a cool climate garden.

Hi Craig the lady that owns the tree is from the "land of the long white cloud" N.Z . I think there maybe self sown seedlings under the tree ..As Bonsai i'll try anything once .Cheers
