I got my first Leopard Tree only a few months ago and it has just come into leaf. It was actually a clump (of sorts) and I was able to get two trees from it.

This is one. As you can see, it is 'in leaf' and I'll soon start deciding on the new growth to keep.

The other is coming into leaf.

I like it a lot as material and am surprised we don't see more of it in Sydney?

Hi H1a,

I like what you did with this one, works really well...
It is a challenging tree to work on, such long internodes, and die back at times. But worth persevering I think
