I am well impressed by this tree bohdi. Great carving work and heaps of development in the past year.

Great looking tree bodhi and in three years i'm sure it will be even more outstanding. I feel that a bit more of the dead wood needs to be carved out or even just the section on the left side which will give some shadow to that side of the hollow, this is only my opinion. I am sure you will have a cracker of a tree no matter what you do from here. Well done.
Cheers Mark

Nice work bodhi love the detail in carving and the exposed roots, It will be a nice tree once the empty space is filed

G'day trent, the tree is humming along and now needs heaps of ramification

Yep, thanks Magzy, the carving is coming along and i review it daily. i will look at it through your eyes and see if that is what is needed.

[Tony Bebb]

Looking good Bodhi

At this rate 12 - 18 months should be good enough.

I have spent quite a few hours on this in the last week and thought i would share it with the Aus Bonsai community. It is coming along well and should be ready for next years Castlemaine Show. AGAIN, JUST CLICK ON THE PHOTOS ARE UNDERNEATH. MODS..HEEEELLLLPPPPPP.

Wow.

I've never been and still not convinced about this species...

Putting preferences aside this is an amazing job and has gone a long way to budging my stubborn tastes!

[bodhidharma]

I've never been and still not convinced about this species...

they are an underrated tree and i am also surprised not more people are working on these. I think the biggest problem is, like english elms, they are way TO busy and need a lot of work to keep them in check. Some people also have an aversion to weeds which they should learn to get over.

I have 2 bubs going at the moment, one in a pot posing as a cascade and the other in the ground as a something I haven't decided on yet
As much as they are a noxious species in Australia they are plentiful and hard to kill, makes for a good starter. I have seen one growing out of a car door next door to where I am currently working

Nice work Bodhi

[anttal63]

Has come along very nicely Bodhi, Great work !!!

A great tree for a beginner to practise on for sure.

Has come along very nicely Bodhi, Great work !!!

Three days to wire this one Ant. Hope i can find the wire in three months time. probably will have to defoliate it again.
