Here's some pics of mels around where I live, not sure of the species. Hope I'm not putting them here wrongly, distracting from Craigs tree but it seems part of the thread now. Just shift them if its not appropriate :tu:

Craig,

What an inspiring set of photo's to start my day... Think I will spend it with the mel's & lepto's.


Some amazingly contorted tree's with a huge amount of deadwood,with so much inspiration around you I cant wait to see what you do with your shohin entry.
