Thats an awesome Shohin Pup, the leaf size reduction you have achieved with this rhaphiophylla is gobsmacking, normal leaves are quite long but the leaves on this one are what? about 4 or 5 mm at most, :tu: great work and very true to form. :flag:

Longest one is 6mm, yes I like this one as a true model of our trees.

Like your pictures too.

Another tree collected from a swamp near home, and trained more a less as it was dug, again showing nature at its best with our trees.
