These once again were from a good deed for a friend Chop top MONTY’S
.John attempted to eradicate his pine wildling
problem and missed by That Much . 
He chopped off the top and left a shoot or branch on the trunk .
The end result was the continued growth and a nice little collection of pines for me . We spent 4 hours eradicating trees however there were around50 that i purposefully cut to regrow and told John i would dig them out for him NEXT YEAR

These area few of the collected Shore pines i inherited after offering my services to a local shire to assist
in the removal of noxious weeds
. Beautiful weeds
These 2 Yamadori were collected recently on an outing with the family .The big Hawthorn is a monster and a half ,
the original tree had rotted off and the 2 lower branches have become
the twin trunks that will be used for a convincing 2 tree style Bonsai . There is ample material to carve including the original over large side root .
The Pinus Monterey was an original chop top that has grown a new leader from 1 of the remaining 
branches missed during an 
attempt to eradicate these noxious weeds . It will make a very nice informal at the least . The trunk itself is 100mm at the base and about 1200mm overall height.It gives good scope for shaping and carving
