Have been at the local Berry Gardens Festival today, moving a few excess trees as well putting on a display of native bonsais. Most have had a run-on AB but there are a few news ones.
Cheers John.

Good to see such a lovely collection John!

Redlands Bonsai Society is doing a native tree display at the Wellington Point Community Hall on Oct 22, in conjunction with the market day.

They look very nice.

Could I please ask for the varieties? I tried zooming in on the little tags but I can't quite make out the writing on some of them.

In particular I'm interested in the one at the back and second from the left that has deadwood.

Great Display John. I grew up in Ulladulla and still drop in to Berry for donuts with wife and kids on way down or back. Detour is a pain now though lol.

Beautiful! I like them all but the Calli at the front, centre - three trees. Albeit is does not have as many twists and turns as some others - I find its simplicity quite striking! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
Under the pump at the moment, will get a list of the trees for you SBS soon. If i was a little bit more computer literate i would find the link for you about this tree. It is a Kunzea ambigua.
Gavin, you don't miss much will post a few photos of the two new ones.
Good luck with the display Mel ,i think people are slowly coming around to the idea of Australian trees as bonsai.
Only two days to go and we drive past the donut van Rintar so might have to drop in.
John.

Thank you for sharing. May I ask if you grew the Kunzea Ambigua from young / seedling stock? Or were you able to find an advanced bush / shrub to buy?

I've started looking around for them now, but can't find them in VIC nurseries.

Wow, up close they look spectacular, John.

I've given up on Lepto laevigatum.... too many problems in my area with growing them. Myrtle rust also can affect them badly if it gets hold.

SBS there are a few places on line that sell tube stock of Kunzea Ambigua. Also try Kuranda Native Nursery if they don’t have they’ll get it in for you.
