Hey Mel,
Great that you've dropped another entry into this competition. I am sure there are a number of great ideas already forming in that creative head of yours.... ;) . These look lovely and the bark on the taller one looks great for such a young tree. :yes:

No drama ...it's young and it's got nice bark... some of our natives are ridiculously fast to grow and achieve the perception of age. Fast to die too but that's just me and my handling :palm: .

IT all takes time to get a feel for the various trees....In 20 years time you'll be an expert. :)

Ha! I think in twenty year’s time I might be a master’s apprentice. At best. I’ll have had fun along the way though...
