Bonsai Australis
Australia's most comprehensive bonsai species resource, plus my own collection, and notes from the bench.
What’s inside Bonsai AustralisTap to show or hide
A growing library of Australian native bonsai species, with the tools behind it.
Species library
More than 8,000 species and 4,000 cultivars across about 1,250 genera, mostly Australian native with some exotics. Every record shows a research status, so you can see how well-sourced it is.
Care that fits the plant
Watering zone, fertiliser, pruning, repotting, seasonal care, and root and trunk development, with differences between cultivars noted where they matter.
My Collection
In developmentA tool for keeping a collection: a record and photo history for every tree, a care schedule with repot, prune, fertilise and wire-check reminders, and a dashboard of what is overdue and what is coming up.
Growth trials
Dated caliper and height measurements on test plants, to see what actually works instead of guessing.
