Hi O.C. Looks like you're going to be busy with the carving gear down the track! ...Is there much left alive on the stump in pic.2 ?....Dog.

The big stump is a big Fuchsia the owner has just pruned it back she said its been there for 20 plus yrs gave it a drink of seasol will collect soon i think not much imformation on them that i can find but have done google search an found some nice trees. there is live veins on every trunk on this tree i think its got good potential the dead wood is hard so dosent seem to rot in a hurry will lime sulfur to make sure tho.

the other tree is a quince about 20cm across the base

Well this time last yr i got back into collecting bonsai told wife she was ok with it so collected them fast til the wife seen them all this last one came from her friends place hehehe she wasnt happy about another tree tho theres the quince yet to go but by late winter she maybe over this one

Here is a quick virt i did but wouldnt think it would need the lower left foliage pad tho i really do hope it makes it from what ive read they grow from cuttings very easly so ive been looking at fuchsia flowers an wowee they are amazing

A few weeks on an ive got good shoots , was lucky with this tree as it was growing in a raised garden bed that was very narrow so was able to get a lot of feeder roots. Early days yet as some trees can still go backwards from here but its looking good so far.

Its growing like a WEED

[Olivecrazy]

Gave this creature a light feed a few weeks ago an the growth its putting out really think it will develop fast will be makeing a wooden grow box for it soon an will do a gentle re-pot in spring
