Rewired and tweaked this one a bit but I think it may need to be tilted a little to the left. Thoughts?
Nah! Just move it left!

Re: Tristania laurina ǀ Water Gum
This one was repotted into a Pat Kennedy pot early this year and last night had a trim. It recently dropped it's bark so the trunk is looking fresh.
Squizzy and I were discussing these last night and we agreed that they really should be on the list of tree's for beginners due to how hardy and easy to train they are. What do others think?

Re: Tristania laurina ǀ Water Gum
I love love love watergums. They are so easy to work with. I currently have in my posession 2. Both have had massive root work so are sulking away but i know will survive.Steven wrote:This one was repotted into a Pat Kennedy pot early this year and last night had a trim.

Re: Tristania laurina ǀ Water Gum
They are great for any level: three types of bark - there is an older cracked bark that this one hasn't developed yet - leaves that miniaturise easily and tough as boots. They also smell great when you work on them.
I find it hard to find pictures of large old trees. Around me they are mostly in dense forest so they are long and leggy. If anyone has a picture of an old large tree with character I would love to see it.
Great shohin Steven.
Cheers,
Symon
