AusBonsai

One of my near neighbours renovated the garden a few months ago and put in lots of Small leafed Lilli Pilli's, and I noted that a few in the fron garden had turned up their toes.

When I walked past yesterday to find her digging them all up and replacing them. she asked if she could load up by Rubbish bin with them and I offered to help her do so if I could take all the ones showing life.
Well after they dug out about 26 or so of them I had to relocate them 2 houses up the street to home and clean them up and Rehydrate them.
Easiest dig I have ever been on I reckon

Trimmed up the root ball of 8 and put into my Baby bath to soak in Seasol, and stacked the rest close together in the shade and watered in well.
I now need to get about 20 more 200mm squat pots from Ray tonight so I can pot them all up tomorrow. Gawd knows where i will put them after that though!

They are all about 800 mm tall to will reduce them so i cn manage them better, but loking at them, many have nice interesting trunk bases so in time they might make very nice Bonsai

What i do know is i will have lots of very good trees to seel at next years Ausbonsai sale day

Talk about right time, right place.

Enjoy all that potting up and great reuse of baby bath.

I can only agree with Fruit Fly Ken Be careful or the Bonsai bug might get you though
