I want to enter something as it’s made it into a bonsai pot this year. But it’s not quite ready yet. It will have wire in it too. Hopefully by the end of this week it’ll have some extra leaves popping.

Scaddid, I like the trunk of your melliodora - a Euc that doesn't have scars just hasn't lived...

And welcome.

Thanks GavinG, I have had to carve it out last year as it was trying to encompass but I would have none of it.

And I thought after five years of lurking this was an opportunity to contribute.

Looking at it as more show and tell than a 'Show"

These last two trees show sort of where I cave come from and am at now.
Fig.jpg
This little fig was a gift from my wife in May 2014. I like this little tree but in my journey I have tried to drown it and freeze it to death but it still prevails and has tought me a few lessons. 24cms high, 7 cms diameter at soil level.
Olive.jpg
This little tree was growing near a path in a local park so was probably cut down often, collected September 2016, put in a greenhouse and treated like a cutting for 12 months, did nothing until I put it in full sun. Another lesson learned.22cms high 8cms diameter at soil level

This is my Crepe Myrtle in its new pot. I know it’s not finished yet but it is my most showable tree right now.

This is a bad question to ask someone about their tree, but who is the potter Beano?
