Love it!!!
The little man doesn't quite fit for me-should be a man with a surfboard!

A very fine tree, and the better for being set up in a landscape. I'm coming round to the use of figurines - a very small figure can give quite a startling feeling for the "massive" size of the tree. The lowest left figure, and the guy on the rock at the back work well for me, but one would be enough.

Thanks for posting.

Yep. Awesome tea tree there John.
Love the pot too. I've never seen bhuddist markings on a pot. Very nice. The rocks, everything, looks really to scale.
How old is the tree?

Hi Woody, I dug several of these trees about three years ago, the tree is in the same position as it was in the ground the main trunks have not been touched all I have done is develop foliage pads.

As a photographer, John makes a great bonsaist

Lovely tree John. Bold use of little men but it works. Would be cool to see some little Aboriginal figures and kangaroos.

Regards,
Steven

Hey I like your tree, it really hits that coastal feel and has improved out of sight since your first posting of it. Ash
