At the Victorian Bonsai Society club meeting this week we had Brian Sampson show us some of his Australian natives he has been growing. He stated that Australian native should be grown in there natural form and wiring the branches should be avoided. From his results it is very hard to argue. Brian will be one of the demonstrator at this years AABC convention in Australia as a support act to Roy Nagatoshi and Jurgen Zaar. He promises to demonstrate on a huge scale Australian natives at that convention.

Please enjoy the photos.

First up is a Coastal Tea tree. These are found in windswept form around the coast of Australia. Brian will one day chop off the straight growing top and leave the semi cascade part which everyone thought would be the right way to go.

This was a spectacular display tree. It belongs to another member. It is one of the Melaleuca varieties. Can't be more specific. This was a miniture. Probably under 10" tall including pot.

Not sure what this species is but it is an Australian native. It was labeled as Kunaza I believe. Or something like that. Think it might be another variety of melaeuca growing in a very natural form.

This is a coastal tea tree that Brian started very early on and tried to train as an informal upright. He very much dislikes this style and prefers the natural style for australian natives.
