Grevillia
Purchase cost $16


I have quite a few Grevillias in the ground and they can be very slow growers
Will see how it goes

Just wondering if that's a graft 3/4 the way up ?

Serious tape measure that ....

Yeah... I know, I focus on the big issues!

Also find the tape impressive...
Grevillia = interesting , look forward to the outcome.

Grevillia leaves have always deterred me from attempting to bonsai them. Would love to see how this turns out.

I don’t believe it is but anything is possible

Grafts are almost always low on the trunk and to my knowledge grevilleas are easily grown as cuttings so rarely grafted except to create weeping standards.

I'll be intrigued to see how the large leaves are managed on this one.

I have potted this up today
About 2 weeks ago I chopped and trimmed
Today i had intended to work the roots a little but as it turned out there wasn’t much to work on

17th dec first cut

3 days later

Update


Its been cut back twice now mainly just out of the top area
Cut back to a new shoot and it’s quite vigorous after the cut
After a cut any that haven’t been cut tend to attempt to become a leader with strong growth
Haven’t had to work the roots yet

update
it is slow
to grow I did change the pot
and again there wasn't a great deal of roots so no work was done
just simply working on the initial trunk line

April update
This one grows vigorously after a cut although the new shoot then tend to thicken quite quickly and can become larger in size than the trunk
I haven’t been near the roots as yet
Upon placing it in this pot there weren’t a lot of roots to worry about so im still leaving them alone

Definitely coming along nicely, even with the slow start

October 20 update
They are very to slow thicken trunk wise
I have several Grevillia yard trees in the ground and they also tend to be slow to thicken the trunk
I haven’t looked at the roots of the tree yet but i think i will in the next month and possibly pot it into the final container
Other than that its just grow cut grow cut
The only other consideration is a viewing front which I haven’t finalised yet

I like that pot mate, where's that from? Suits the tree well.

Hi greg
Thats a Denise Allen pot
I think the pot is to big for the plant
I do have another pot in mind
