Hi fviljoen963, sorry it's taken me so long to reply. The nursery is in Hillcrest just outside Durban. I'm having a tough time with my acacias at the moment but on the other hand I've managed to get a few other indigenous trees and they're showing a lot more promise. If you're close enough...

Durban, the only place to be. Sun, surf and everything in between. I also picked up my first non-indigenous trees this last week so it's going to be a fun spring. :)

Sterkfontein's not bad but for decent size fish and very quiet rivers Natal is grossly underestimated. I'm incorporating the Y and using it as a genuine double trunk, there's some really nice detail on one of the trunks so I have the style in my head, now just to give it time. Sadly my only...

Thanks for the speedy response. SA certainly has some very knowledgeable experts and it seems a decent community as well unfortunately I'm still new and know very few people in the community which is something I plan to remedy in the near future. I've read through all the sites you posted and...

Hi all I'm new to bonsai but so far I've been learning all I can, appreciating pictures and watering my trees. My question is specifically bout acacias, I live in South Africa so we have some truly stunning indigenous trees and a number of them are acacias however I'm struggling to find...
