here are a pic of the Wisteria. when i bought it it 3 or 4 seedlongs already in their first year of growth. BONUS. dont know what to do yet

The other one is of a oak tree. it has graet potensial for informal upright

dont know what the 3rd one is. it has thorns and is described as ground cover. maybe windswept or root over rock

Hi Hein!
Glad to know you keep getting new trees.
i'm still new in the bonsai world but this looks like really good material.
hope to see the trees again in some months.
Good luck.

Thanks malaqias

Outside of town there is very crappy nursery. But the tree they have there is so neglegted, that they have a natural old effect. Some of the trees are so beautiful but you can see that the tree won't make it.

I will do a progression series when I start work on them.

Dirt cheap. I payed R42.50 per tree. I'm on my way there now. A bonsai nursery would pick up good specimens there.

Hi Hein,

Are the leaves on the third tree a bit stiff and waxy feeling and dark green in colour? If so, you may have a Natal Plum (Carrisa macrocarpa). Sure looks like one to me. Here is some info on the Natal Plum:
