Tracy at https://www.murrumbungstudioceramics.com.au/ stocks his pots and collaborates with him at times as well. Have not seen any new pots from him in a while tree and pot are looking great.

Is the solid green moss doing the rest of the composition any favours? Maybe some rocks scattered on the ground, maybe leaf litter, maybe different colours and textures of moss?

I agree the solid green moss can be a bit strong . It comes down to being a bit lazy , when I repot I scoop what ever moss is growing on the top of the pot , if it is not infected with liverwort or weeds and pop into a blender . Once that is smeared back on it tends to regrow as one carpet . Sometimes it looks great depending on the style of tree . Other times it can dominate a bit . By the end of winter it is always overgrown and needs doing again .
For me the moss is horticultural as well as aesthetic . It helps keep the weeds out , adds protection to the top roots from drying out and it protects from freezing . I used to use gravel but I recycle my potting mix and it’s hard to seperate the two , I don’t want too much gravel getting into the mix .
I found a beautiful silvery moss last year but I am saving that for special occasions .
(When I read this all back to myself I think I am just a little bit crazy . )

Yes they are great, and yes everyone needs one in their collection. Luckily for someone they will have a chance for one… if they are in the running for first prize in the 3 year comp!! That is what is up for grabs (see link below) Not long to go now…

Sorry for the digression Sno. Great tree (and pot) by the way.

Crazy's fine.... Pretty normal around here really.

It really does look like a high country, exposed Euc.
