AusBonsai

Hi There

Has anyone thought about getting a few of these & trying to make something out of them?

No idea but they look awesome!
Off to Bunnings I go methinks to see if they have any

Being a dwarf variety they may be quite suited to Bonsai culture too

They do look cool but picking a colour would be hard

Nah. Just get one of each [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

I happen to work at a big green shed, but I don't recall seeing any come in yet (I work in the dock). I can find out on Monday and let you know if we will be getting any in and the prices. If we do get them in, I dare say it'll be around May/June when we get our bare root stock in.

Don't be ridiculous Ken... 2 or 3 of each is a much more reasonable number

Green shed in Melbourne has had them for about 8 weeks now so they should be around.

Well now I have to get one or ten

Well I always advocate newbies getting at least 2 of each species.
1 to work on straight away and 1 to grow on for later

I agree Ken, the dark foliage is what interests me a bit, but the fact the are dwarf is also a big plus.

The guy next door to me has one planted in his front yard, must have gotten it last year. It's very eye-catching, and I've been tempted to sneak over and rip it out....lol.

I might ask if I can take some cuttings. He has one with brilliant red flowers and maroon foliage.

Right. I'm coming over tomorrow, lets take a few cuttings
In all seriousness, we probably should get coffee one day. I'd love to see your trees too Mel.

Let me know whenever you're over this side of town.
