gnarly trees

Post by wattynine »

I have driven past this tree outside of Rockhampton about a thousand times in the last ten years and it never fails to impress me in its ability to combat whatever nasty has attacked and it continues to thrive.

If any one has another gnarly tree maybe we can start a thread, the gauntlet has been thrown down.

hope you enjoy

Amazing! I wonder what happened to it?? It almost looks like some weird genetic thing.

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.
