That is a ripper John and the texture of the pot is spot on too.

cheers Anthony

I'll throw my hat in the ring (maybe that's my tree?).
This bottlebrush got some new shoes after it flowered.

Great Trees coming in.
Watto ,great movement and those flowers. Champion.
Baldwitlion ,two terrific trees. Th Eucy is so natural great work.
I will add another. This is a Darwinia Fascicularis I have been working on, has given me a few problems over time . Very temperental at times … Cheers John.

Now that's one I've never seen or heard of before, interesting tree, John!

[MJL]

I think this is your second tree and it’s 2 from 2 John. [THUMBS UP SIGN]

You are nailing a stark but stoic character. I am not sure if this tree is from a fire ravaged area but it could be - standing in isolation - surrounded amongst stumps lost around it.

I am drawn to that longer branch leaning out to the right towards the top 1/4 .... does it stay or go? .... the coin is in the air - I like it - it’s adds something to this trees unique character.

Excellent stuff. Cheers for posting.

One more from me, this is a Leptospermum that I have a soft spot for.

[melbrackstone]

I'm just a year in on the lepto journey Watto, so have nothing with much shape yet. Are they something that responds to constant pruning/pinching? This one of yours seems to have bulked up nicely!

[Watto]

I give it a few trimmings a year Mel and that seems to help the ramification.
These had a reputation as difficult to transplant previously but I have found no problem to date.

[melbrackstone]

Thanks Watto, I'm hoping to get a handle on the repotting soon.
