This tree was originally the late Syd Reeves tree, it was given to Craig for help he gave when it was needed. He was doing fine with it. Then found he needed to move it.
He asked my permission as it had come from Ruth and myself, I said I would help.
Well here it is, after some slight changes, and getting rid of some borers and some initial changes now wait for growth, and the summer for lime sulphur.
Cheers Pup
Syd then Craig now Pup

Re: Syd then Craig now Pup
Well 8 months have past now. It was up for sale last October show. No takers so I thought I would do some work on it. This weekend was a workshop with Tony Bebb on carving.
Sorry, Oh bugger again forgot my camera. So all we have is the original pics, and what is now a better work in progress. It is now in a Lorraine Simpson pot.
Cheers Pup

Re: Syd then Craig now Pup
Love it! Very nice looking tree, such a nice trunk
Spewing I missed the workshop, was hoping to drop in for a visit but forgot all about it while I was on holiday

Re: Syd then Craig now Pup

Re: Syd then Craig now Pup
It has risen in price by at least a k + freight.
I am pleased with the way it is progressing, and the pot is really a work of art in setting of our Natives.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

I was amazed that it it didn't sell - it's even more impressive in the flesh.lackhand wrote:I reckon you would have some takers if you put that up for sale now! Great work, and really good progress on this one.
Perhaps it would be wortth while, before next auction, writing some threads on the history of the best trees ??
