Stolen Bonsai Woollahra NSW

from Bonsai Exotique at Beowulf Galleries 23 Queen Street, Woollahra, NSW
On Sunday (31st July) morning, around 4am, thieves broke into our nursery at 23 Queen Street, Woollahra in Sydney, and stole three valuable bonsai (see attached). The most valuable was a swamp cypress in a large Pat kennedy pot, which was broken during the robbery. The pot was approximately 41cm x 31cm rectangular and will obviously need to be replaced. The tree was approximately one metre tall, with excellent buttressed nebari. The photo of the gallery was only taken last week and, as you can see, the swamp cypress had spectacular autumn folliage. The theives left a trail of the copper-coloured leaves all the way to the end of the street.

The other two bonsai photos are similar to the trees stolen. Both were in the type of Pat Kennedy pots shown. The Port Jackson fig is about 48cm tall - Thor made it to celebrate one of our son's birth 24 years ago. The Chinese juniper was slightly larger than the one shown and was around 60cm high.

The local police and detectives have been in attendance and are following some leads. Any help would be most welcome and if you think you may be able to help the police, they can be contacted on: Rose Bay Police - 9362 6399 Paddington - 8356 8299
