[360°] Melaleuca rhaphiophylla

Post by Pup »

Here is another of my favorite species all the carving was done by Mother nature.
I just make sure it does not rot a mix of Lime sulphur and Sumi ink. I Have been training it since 2004 this one is what, along with some others.
Taught that the branches do not like to go past the parallel the first left hand branch kept dying back. so I brought one from the back branch.
at the base I have to constantly cut off young shoots that appear. Over to you

Looks fine to me Penny in fact a ripper tree. I was surprised to see the depth of the cavity there. Nice work nature and Pup.

Ash :)

It might be that. I had a lot of trouble getting back to AB with the new(?) computer. Turned out, I'd stopped most cookies.

Gday Pup!

I don't know how I missed this one... :oops:

This is without a doubt my favourite of the trees you have posted in the round! As Mr Barns points out, that hollow is quite amazing in its depth (it looks at some points like you can see all the way through!).

Great work, and I look forward to seeing how this one progresses over time!

Thanks.

Fly.

You can, there are a couple of holes. This one is a bit of a challenge as pointed out. It is one that helped me prove at least with this species not to go past parallel the first branch on the left has been replaced as you can see.
