Bonsai with Australian Natives: Bonsai Basics

This was part of my HSC Design and Technology major work in 2006. I combined my Japanese and Australian heritage with my interests in video and technology.

Part 1: Bonsai Basics
Tree: Moreton Bay Fig
This video deals with choosing your tree and repotting techniques.

To anyone looking to make bonsai with Australian plants, I highly recommend figs. The one featured in this video is still alive despite my neglect. Figs are also interesting to watch as they grow. You can see the leaves as they form. They also shoot aerial roots. They are rainforest trees, but they can grow anywhere and everywhere.
