Uncommon Bonsai Subjects
Posted: February 22nd, 2012, 8:33 pm
I have access to a nursery that has been growing Native Rainforest plants for a number of years to have advanced stock for landscapers. I often do the watering as well as occasionally potting on, sometimes for plants due to the nursery not having a great cash flow. As you can imagine I have a wonderful opportunity to gain some great stock for potential Bonsai. I have also done some work experience for another nursery and was given a few ute loads of throw away stock. So I have been experimenting with some species I have not seen any information on their use as Bonsai. Below is a list of some of the species that I am playing with and would love to know if anyone has had any experience with them and if anyone has photos of mature Bonsai. I will post some up to date pictures soon when I have the chance to get some in daylight.
Podocarpus elatus
Podocarpus spinulosus
Endiandra sp. (probably E. sieberi)
Toona ciliata
Cryptocarya laevigata
Xanthostemon chrysanthus
Brachychiton discolor
There are a few more I'll check during the daylight and add them with pictures soon.
