Understand the depth. They can be very quick to develop roots. I think a simple plain oval would compliment the tree more :imo: its not a criticism I love the tree. I wouldn't say no to it on my brench :tu:

Any recent photos of this Murraya Ken? I just read the thread for the first time. Great tree.

I have just dug a large one myself today and was wondering if you have any tips?

An excellent thread and tree. It'll be good to see an update and I am intrigued by the front back discussion - to my my eye the back looked great as a front but photos are rarely as informative as seeing the tree in prson.

I love the historical context of the workshop with Peter Adams, the cat and just Ken's general joy at being involved in the workshop and meeting the Adams' couple.

It makes me lament the recent cancelled workshop in Canberra but again, the world has bigger problems; missed workshops not being one of them.

Looking forward to the updated photos.
Tending bonsai teaches me patience.

Looking forward to your update Ken.

How often do you repot and root prune?
