AusBonsai

This is the new wonderbonsai from South-Africa-Buddleja saligna. Giant Yamadori can be dug with litte roots and they will almost always grow after the dig. They can be dug in spring or high summer- and they grow like weeds all over my province. Their leaves reduce up to 75%. They also offer very good deadwood work oppertunities.

But they cant do the woodwork themselves and Im not very experienced on working on deadwood. Any advice, comments or virts welcome:

Oh boy! The back budding on that trunk in the second shot is to die for. Very few trees that I know will be so generous.

Looks a lot like an olive leaf

Nice find too

Yes, they are also called the false olive and they grow in the same area as our African Olive.

They've certainly got character, great if you can just help yourself to them for free too.
