I thought it might be usefull to see work in this manner. Thanks to Steven and the amazing technology.

Hope you enjoy.

i really like this tree grant, and to have grown it from seed in a pot its whole life is a credt to you and your skill and foresight. 21 years well worth it.

The 360 treatment allows you to see so much more than I could impart during the preworkshop phase. It shows very nicely the multiple trunks/branches effect on the right hand side and I intend that the middle trunk closest to the main trunk will thicken up more in the future.

very true grant, i can count four possibly five trunk/branches coming from that right hand side, i know which one you intend to thicken, will some of those extra ones be removed once that one has thickened and increases in ramification?

Possibly/probably. If I dont it will reinforce the carroty like growth below them.

But i don't want to hasten too quickly either. I can enjoy the tree as is for a while.

Very cool! Love the technology, esp moving the cursor very fast back and forwards. I't's a tough little bugger....it didn't fall over once!!

I however, got dizzy, and almost did! I think the pot goes well Grant. Looks like a Roger model.

It'll be nice to see it again when it's back in leaf.

Awesome little tree, and very cool 360 viewing.
So is it true Grant, are you coming to perth this weekend? and if so which club will you be talking at - the workshop (sat arvo) or the society (weeknight, mon or tues i think)?? I'd love to see the pics of the collection.

Congrats on the refining of your fig!!!

Wow - those pics look awesome!

360 viewing is the BEST thing that has ever happened to online bonsai forums!

Excellent tree Grant, I liked it before the 'work' but now it does have more of natural Fig look.

Great work!

Wow - those pics look awesome!

thanks to you...btw much better than the batch you sent through last time...this time i just made the backdrop darker and cropped them and they are good to go. expecting more from you then...

[Leigh Taafe]

ahhh - I thought the back looked darker! How do you do that? BTW - thanks mate!

Hi Grant your tree is looking great. Its a classic example of the advantages of slow growing some trees. To some people 20 years sound a long time but as you know time passes quickly and the results are so rewarding.

MR bowie MR bowie MR bowie... YOU ARE A CAT!!!

In my eyes you have improved this tree 3 fold! You have taken ownership and responsability over this tree! In my eyes you are a true leader in Australian Bonsai.

Very nice Grant, and the photography I have to do a course on it, it makes a huge difference in the presentation
