AusBonsai

Hi guys,
I'm in Perth, kelmscott area and I was wondering if anyone would want a stump like this one. The shrub was about 1m high and 2m diameter. I'm not sure exactly what bottlebrush it is but it has those real small spiky leaves. And I also haven't seen it flowers. Sorry about the photo, but the stump is probably about 40cm high at the highest point, and that trunk goes a little flatter into the plane of the photo than it looks.
Thanks for any advice, I have yet to do a bonsai and I feel this one is a bit out of my depth. I have a few ficus cuttings I'm working on to get me started.

I assume your are wanting to sell rather than give away, if so can you add your price please

thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,
I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth selling, and to be honest I would happily give it away.

Hi, I sent you a Personal message, thankyou.

Are you sure it's Callistemon??? Your pics remind me of a Melaleuca I know... By all accounts it's a rampant grower in South WA but I could be wrong...

Yeah not so sure about its callistemon status anymore, but it's sold.

Melaleuca gibbosa?

I was thinking melaleuca huegelii... flowers would certainly help with a conclusive ID. I'm pretty sure it isn't Callistemon.

nice stump

Was thinking the same, branches at the base look very promising, can picture a nice root spread beneath the soil. Whoever bought the tree, would be good to see a pic once removed.

Thanks treebuilder, do you have any other pictures, perhaps a bit further away so that we can see full tree? Looks like a fantastic base, cannot make out what is happening, what's the yellow stick for?

How's this one doing after the dig?

I followed up on this and unfortunately the tree didn't make it after missing a watering day from a retic fault
