bottom Eucalyptus ficifolia, Melaleuca cuticularis.

Awesome Pup! Simply amazing :worship: :worship:

I'm hoping to have a few Ficifolia's in the future, was the first tree I was ever able to name from my old man's teachings, so have some nice memories attached to it :)

Very impressive Pup. I'm particularly interested in how you achieved the "leaf" reduction with the Casuarina. :cool:

Hi Peter, constant pinching, and I mean constant.

Some people here in the West gave up, saying getting up in the middle of the night to pinch is not allowed :lol:

At least twice a month I also have allocasuarina with small foliage. Again constant pinching.

Cheers Pup

Great display Pup! Thanks for sharing.

It's going to take me a while to get used to your new backdrop. Your trademark blue one is instantly recognisable.

Steven

I have worked out that I need a much more overcast day than we are expeiencing at the moment. Also my blue one was not conducive to magazine publications I am told.
