ID my tree was created by major999

Posted 7 years 9 months ago #30659
So yesterday I was at a gardening store (in south Sydney, Australia) and spotted a very small tree at a bonsai stand (I'm hesitant to call it a bonsai). It did not have a tag saying the species, and so I have no idea if its an indoor or an outdoor plant, what pests to look out for, etc. Its about 10cm tall and has fairly dense foliage of thin long flat leaves. Does this plant have potential to be a good bonsai? What species is it?

Thanks for any help

I recommend going back to the store that sold you the plant and ask them for care instructions& species information.

Good idea, though I really doubt the botany skills of the people at that store... Thanks anyway though :)

Could that be Chamelaucium?

Looks a bit like Pomegramate. Well that's a good mix of guesses

Could be a tamarix, which means time for me to do some weeping willow wiring

Also could be a Pomegranate. I'll find out if it starts to bear tiny fruit

I don't know what it is, but it certainly doesn't look like a Tamarix.
