Winter 2014

Buxus microphylla Japonica 1

Bought this bonsai last year at a bonsai class I went to in Sydney. Potted it up on the day. Had a bit of die back 6 mths ago at the top but now growing well.

Juniper 1

Bought this bonsai 10 yrs ago at Flemington markets. Sat around for years and didn't do anything. Has 9 lives cause it died back on a number of occasions. It has been re-potted a couple of times and has had some recent healthy growth. Still no real growth in girth. A real experiment I think in what not to do with bonsai. Very tempted to chuck it out but will persist.


Tiger Bark Ficus Retusa

I think this is the correct name for this ficus. Otherwise it is a Ficus Benjamina. Again I picked this up and potted it last year during a bonsai workshop I attended in Sydney. Growing very well.



Em's Bonsai-Juniper

Bought this for En n Steve as their Gold Coast house warming present. Has had a bit of a set back so have been nursing it till the guys get into their new home in Albury. May have to do a backyard blitz first so we know where it is to go.
