Was re potting and we got some welcome rain. So I thought a couple of pictures would not go astray. Here are some of my trees in different pots..
Dan Barton has always said Bonsai should have a fun side. Some people reckon I don't have one.
Well here's one from many years ago. Traveling in the southwest near Walpole,( where they now have the tree top walk) there was a giant Tingle tree.
Over the years with constant compaction of the soil, as all manner of Cars trucks and buses used to park in the hollow for pictures the tree eventually succumbed.
This is not a Tingle tree but my tribute to times past.
Allocauarina, Fraseriana.
Just for fun. M, rhaphiophylla

Once again awesome Mels Pup.
My wife's sick of hearing me say "I just want one like that!" About your Mels. Lol! I think she knows I couldn't stop at one.
Great stuff.

I really do wish they'd hurry up and grow.
