Native yamadori
I had the opportunity to purchase some recently dug yamadori from Hugh Grant.
I just love the raw and wild look you get from nature. Thank you very much Hugh, it is a lovely piece of material
In my mind those that believe Australia can't compare to overseas yamadori might think twice over time. As long as you have trees that can live for hundreds of years then the potential is there for any country to have great material.
I purchased a Leptospermum juniperium:
There is a pencil sharpener on the bottom right for scale.
He has more material available, and may start building up more over time.

Re: Native yamadori
I'm with you Rory, Australia has so much to offer, I have some collected yamadori not yet posted that equate to the material you are talking about.
I am now seriously chasing friends with benefits (properties)" and am in a dedicated search for the trees you mention.
good luck with your tree, keep us posted,

Well this has inspired me to go visit my SIL within the next few weeks.
They have 100 acres of mountain timber country 45 mins south of Canberra that needs exploring.

I haven't decided yet. I will probably just let it grow a lot and then decide. I have not grown this species before so I will endeavor to keep it in good health for the first year.
It has great potential.

Hi Rory,
A few fantastic bits of material, I rate those lepto's highly. They have a tonne of potential mate.
Keep us posted.

Re: Native yamadori
At this rate you will be our go to Lepo man
I love the Angophora one of my favourite trees. Great score. Thanks for sharing.
Have you seen Ted's in Canberra? I saw it at Ted's nursery shortly after it fell over in his back yard during a storm.
He was quick, the next thing it was in a large pot being trained as a furture bonsai with an order to Japan for a special pot to be made for it.

Re: Native yamadori
Yes I presume all the comments above can see the same interest in the leptos that I saw.
I admit I get a bit obsessed when I like a genus and want to try numerous species.
Yeas I have seen Teds Angophora, it has quite a base on it. Very impressive. Wow. No I wasn't aware it had dropped... Crikey! That thing is huge!
Same with Angophora too.... I think I have a few species now too of them.
In my opinion bakeri is the best species of the angophoras to work with... Mainly because of their hardiness and smaller leaf size. They are also resistant to stupidity.... (Spraying chemicals on a hot day)... Almost killed a few floribunda from this but the bakeri didn't care. Bakeri also seem far less bothered by drought or pests than any other Angophora I've tried.
Hahaha, you make me laugh kirky. I have placed my toe in the lepto world.... But just about every experienced member on this forum probably knows more about lepto than I. But I do have a habit of going all in when I begin to take a new interest in a species. Leptospermum and Callitris are my 2 new favourite genus to experiment with.KIRKY wrote:At this rate you will be our go to Lepo man

Re: Native yamadori
Hi Rory,
This is a collected Lepto that is the same type, collected in 2014, barerooted and potted up into this pot. It was styled but every branch died when it dried out once, since then I kept it in a tray of water with my scoparium and this is it today.
Letting it flower this year and will look at styling in the coming years.
Cheers
David

Re: Native yamadori
Oh wow. It's even more interesting to note that you bare rooted it.
Great piece of material there. It's hard to see the trunk but it looks very interesting.
Nice to see it in flower too.

Re: Native yamadori
A big thanks to Hugh for recently selling me this nice piece of native stock. I am looking forward to seeing this gum grow over time.
It has put out a nice spread of new growth. There is nothing quite like getting a good head start on the base thanks to nature.
