Very nice Skip! What's the story behind this one? Where did it come from and how long ago?
Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Steven

Hi All

No Aaron, the cuddles are kept for the wife, kids & my carving tools. The tree did take me about 2 hour to dig & was 4 metres tall. The property that I got it from was to be develope & lucky for me I also got 23 Japanese Boxes, 3 Camelias & a large trident (see below).
As for that hernia giving Taxus, it is so slow growing that i think Moses was the one who planted it, I have been having thuoghts of reducing it further.

Cheers
Skip
