Gday Com & Co!
Thanks for the link - it's one of the better (only?) ones displaying Oz native trees as "show quality" Bonsai. But give it time...

I have to say that Eucalypts are not 'slow growing' as a rule. On the contrary, they can display growth rates comparable to Ficus species, given the right conditions - both in the ground and in 'captivity'. The same can be said for many of the Acacias - the Varnish Wattle (Acacia verniciflua?) we planted in 2003 is possibly the fastest growing thing I know of.
Thanks.
