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 3: Cascade
Tree: Grevillea
This video demonstrates how to create the cascading style.

Made with CyberLink PowerDirector4.

My brother helped film this one.

This tree was the first to die. Grevillea can be difficult to grow, they are a bit unpredictable as bonsai. As ground cover plants, they can have great natural shapes to become cascades, but since they often don’t last, it can be very frustrating. Few Australian plants are suitable for cascades, especially as some are known to drop weaker branches. Without control over the branches you want, you can’t control the bonsai’s shape. I think I have seen it done with Aussie figs however. Again, I recommend figs as the best Australian plants for bonsai.
