G'day flybri and all the other fellow wombats in the gum tree thread.
I've been facinated with your thread here about natives as bonsai. I used to live next door to Dorothy and Vita Koreshoff's bonsai nursery in Castle Hill. Only just read the other day they have both since died which is rather sad. Mind you this is thirty or so years ago, so i guess no one lasts for ever.
As to native bonsai, what ya reckon about the Ghost Gum? I aint seent one in years now i live in far north queensland but I vividly remember them on the way to the snow when I lived at Moss Vale.
Now they have to be my favorite gum tree of all time.
I'm working on a few callistemons at the moment, Oz has some fantastic trees for Bonsai.
The only thing that worries me about eucalypts is their tendancy to drop branches(especially on my 4WD about 18 yeras ago)
Anyway great thread, I'm off into the rainforest to collect some more granite pot rocks.
Happy growing guys!
