The pics don't do justice to that one. Maybe place a .ca of coke next to it to show its size. It's the same one I enquired about but they wouldn't sell. Nonetheless it's so out of my league.

Sorry for the lack of size reference I was in their carpark and had nothing in the way of a suitable gauge.

She said she thinks it's a West Australian variety of flowering gum so perhaps Ficifolia or similar, we'll wait to see if and when it flowers.

In the meantime I have cut some unusable branches off and wait for it to back bud.

How did you fair with this one Macguyver? That would have been a heck of an effort carrying and unloading this one, haha. I've vowed never to own anything this big, for logistical and spinal reasons.

I root pruned and cut back everything that I purchased that day, and in just the last week the Angophora has shot all over so I'm thrilled as it was my favourite.

The lady was shocked as I said I would return with three or four guys but as it turned out none were available at a days notice and as it closes at 3:30pm and it was the last day I had to act.

I used their trolley to cart it up the driveway then got it to the car park where there was an old Brush Turkeys abandoned nest, so I rolled it up on its side onto the nest and then backed the ute up to it, the lady nearly had a heart attack when she realised i'd got it onto the ute on my own.

It has buds appearing everywhere after the recent chops.

Will post a pic up soon.

Yes please, I'd love to see pics. Still laughing.... hahaha

When that thing is full of water, my gosh it must weigh more than me.

Should have just called me. I am 5 mins away and I have a lifter lol.

They don't call me MacGuyver for nothing

Years of dead lifting paid off too.

Patiently waiting for a report on this one.

Apologies, this last year has been hectic, new baby in January, house hunting and purchase and a new manager at work making his mark has kept me flat out.

I have vowed to begin posting up some of my trees for assistance and critique recently.

Will take a photo this arvo if I get time.
