Gday folks, and Happy Chocolate Hangover Day!!!

I found this Burgan (Kunzea ericoides) at a local nursery, and having seen Newzealandteatree's success with K. ambigua, I thought I'd try my hand at the genus. This specimen was unusual in that it had a couple of nice kinks at the base.

Great to see you moving into Kunzeas. They have much going for them, though the lack of back budding on old wood is challenging.

They offer wonderful opportunities for inserting more 'art' into ones bonsai.
