Whatever the close date - and regardless of the Comp - I am enjoying caring for these. I’ll drop an end of October photo in but these trunks look ok, I reckon. Now the leaves on the other hand ….

Thanks for the many updates Mark, great visual diary.
The gums are really settling into the Aussie pot.

This is looking good Mark. The variation of trunk thicknesses and the strong movement all look very natural. I'm keen to see how this progresses with more time and ramification.
Matt.

That looks nice mate. Its hard to maintain Eucs as bonsai, as those leaves will get a lot bigger soon.
But I like it mate.

Another haircut … noting here that I have taken a lot of growth but not all the big leaves. Really just stimulating more growth before I do a major cut and reduction 4-6 weeks before the new final date.

I decided to craft a new top on the main tree today. For main branches,I prefer ripping/tearing to clean cuts. Here’s what I took off and I’ve also included a picture of an old rip - I think it looks very natural. The new top has better taper and structure too. Wiring has been minimal on these trees but the new top needed some wire.

Looking good Mark and will only get better.
Have enjoyed following the growth and trimming over the length of the competition.
