I seen big ones, they are gorgeous. I haven't seen one in bonsai. Please post a few worthy of the name...

But where's the fun in not trying
I'm in this for the journey and not the destination. As long as I can keep them alive, I'll continue to grow them. If nothing else, I got that part down with these guys! The best bonsai often come from tortured trees
I think you misunderstood. Typically when you do not find examples of species X as good bonsai, it means there is some characteristic making the species less suitable. In this case, if I remember well, they are very tricky when dealing with the roots.Boo Hiss. They are spectacular in nature as tall and straight. To say that is not a good bonsai form is to say
"As long as I can keep them alive, I'll continue to grow them "
sounds more like a horticultural experiment rather than a bonsai one.
what do you mean?The best bonsai often come from tortured trees.

Well my two rainbow eucalyptus have survived a Cat4 hurricane with 150mph sustained and 198mph gust. All the leaves were stripped and most branches twisted off. One was found under my equipment trailer axle and the other in the middle of a field far away from the house. Is that enough torture?But where's the fun in not trying
