Hi Peter,

Beautiful tree! Is there any chance of an update? Was looking great back in its new PK pot in 2013, I hope it's still kicking!

Cheers,
Pearcy.

How did I miss this thread! :shock:

Peter.... that is magnificent. That is a beautiful tree. Very natural, I love it! :clap:

Your natural hand at bonsai and your ability to make your trees look so natural is truly a great talent :worship: :worship:

Okies, so reading that I planted my dwarf and it was growing well 11 years ago, it is now about 3 feet high, but I never ended up lifting it for Bonsai, as shadehouse lost water supply and I lost all the potted plants therein. I don't have the heart to lift it, but if someone from Adelaide wants a now very advanced ground plant, I am open to discussion on that (you may have to replace it with something pretty in the garden). I haven't had a look at the lower trunk in years, but guessing it is pretty chunky now!
