Sold - another fine specimen coming shortly...
This is Liana's special
Bonsai, one which she personally feels is worthy
of note because it is a promising specimen,
excellent value, and shows character.
Name: Norfolk Island Pine
Scientific Name: Araucaria heterophylla
Date of Birth: February 2017
Origin: Norfolk Island
Cultivation: Prefers free draining soil in
a sunny position. Drought and frost
resistant.
Fast growing. Grown from seed from Norfolk
Street Fremantle.
Height: 63cm
Age: 6 years
Pot: 30 x 23 x 9 cm ceramic, rectangular,
pale green, glazed, Chinese.
Description: This month's Bonsai has been
chosen by Liana to represent a shift in
normality that can take effect any time.
I had collected the seeds in the Esplanade
Park in February 2017 and planted prior to
the Covid Pandemic that hit the world in
2019.
All the trees in the grouping
show survival even though they will never
be upright, uniform and equal.
I’ve twisted the trunks, trimmed
the
canopies, added a burnt black piece of
wood and planted a green ground cover to
show recovery and continual life...
This unique Bonsai needs to live in a
sunny, protected area and receive water
regularly, although very little now in
Autumn and in the coming Winter. Enjoy the
artwork and feel free to trim, modify and
improve the canopy as it forms.
New branches will sprout in the hot weather and needles will be growing rampant as soon as the cold season is over.
Feeding is very easy and I simply use one teaspoon of 9 month general Osmocote, then a few months later one dose of dilute power feed and in summer I apply Thrive liquid fertilizer to improve nitrogen levels for needle growth.
Your responsibility for this Bonsai will be:
1. Must live outside in a bright lit spot in hot weather, rain or storms.
2. Must be trimmed or pinched when overgrown to stop it getting pot bound.
3. Must be watered if it’s dry.
4. Must be checked for scale insects and sprayed or brushed if you see any. Rare but can happen.
All Bonsai Palace Bonsai are presented with a Bonsai Birth Certificate and detailed care instructions. Also, we offer a free ‘feed and groom’ tag for each Bonsai for ongoing support within three months of purchase.
THIS MONTH'S PRICE FOR AN EXQUISITE BONSAI IS ONLY $189.00..!
All pricing is in Australian Dollars and includes GST. Shipping costs are quoted at the time of order placement and will depend on your location and preferred shipping method.
Please note that due to Government
quarantine regulations we cannot ship Bonsai and

Australia at this time...
