Exceptional Peter,

A fine contender for a Gallery position as well as a 360 Degree presentation.

I think at least from the photos you have shown i like the side as a front almost better than i do the front.

Nice display.

That's very impressive Peter, love all the twists in that trunk!
Which species of Acacia do you find to be the easiest to work with for bonsai?
I have some A. decurrens and what I'm told is a floribunda but I seem to think the decurrens might not be too suitable for bonsai, just wondering which varieties you think are good for a native newbie?
Thanks - Pat

iI have to agree with jow, the side view is much more apealing to me .Wonderful specimen, and hey ,what a find. Our nurserys here dont much have anything as delightful as what you found. Good on ya!
Petra!

G,day Peter this a very nice tree. I agree with Jow that the side veiw is the better one.
Although it is not my tree.
You certainly have some nice tree's in training Peter.
Thanks for sharing. Pup

Thank you all for the kind comments,

Yes I also think it has more potential from the side and will work on that a little more. I still have a long way to go and still have my reservation on the longevity of this species. Time will tell. I haven’t done a lot with acacias as I manly work on Eucs and many other Aus species.

inspriational tree. Well done and what a fantastic find.

Although you've only had it for a short while, do you know if it shoots back from old wood? Specifically, from leafless, but still young wood (you know, still pale coloured), and/or from leafless old wood (mature, dark coloured).

Kunzea,

It buds back on old wood. Before I repotted in November I cut about 2/3 rds of the foliage off. It then budded back on the old wood. Over the summer it developed the flowers on the new branchlets which surprised me as I thought it may have sulked until this years growth.

I concur
Back buds really well
