Beautiful tree and one that I'd love to see in person.
Something about natives that just makes me happy.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

That looks bloody brilliant Pup, it just keeps looking better and better. I can't thank you enough looking after the tree until I finally work out what I am doing. I would hate to bring it East and then travel West without it.
But just say the word and it will be done.

Humble or not that was friggen Funny :lol:
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
