This tree was collected in October November 2000 from a park that was being returned to its original state these trees were not native to that area. I was asked if I would take them as they would be destroyed.
It was set aside for a work shop with Ernie Kuo in 2001 at the A.A.B.C. Convention in may.
It was originally another 30cms higher and had a large rhinoceros type jin at the front which has since rotted.
This tree has had a few redesigns since then it has been in training 9 years
it is 960 mms high
it is 720 mms wide
The pot is Chinese

Sorry Pup,Pup wrote:37 and three quaters of an inch makes it 960cms when I was converted from what I was to what I am
But he is right.
960cms equals 9.6mtrs. 96cms equals 960mm. I am still getting my head around this stuff as well.
That would make Teds Angophora 14mtrs high. Hmm, I am glad it was only 140cm or 1.4mtr high.
