What’s most interesting to me is that all this time... I thought you had a green thumb.

Well, that explains the lack of growth in your work.

Thank you for updating.
Maybe the roots have filled it? It certainly looks healthy, so hopefully you can work your magic for the next 6 months Sno. :beer:

Another 6 months and no extra growth .
I think some eucalyptus will sit quite happily in a pot not growing but just existing once there roots have filled the pot . Which is great once you have your desired trunk size but it can be quite slow to develop for such a quick growing species in it’s natural environment . I potted up this tree today :palm: into a Bunnings garden sieve to kick start its growth again . One thing I have found with E parvifolia is they can develop quite an interesting root base compared to the trunk size . It has crossed my mind to be completely ruthless and chop to the trunk line and see what happens . The root structure would be a lot more interesting than the sausage like trunk that has gown .
