That is one very nice Bunjingi John looking forward to its improvement. These are of the first Natives I worked with way back in 88 got the blow torch treatment then.

Good Luck
Cheers Pup :hooray: :tu:

Looking good John! Shame about the photography :whistle:

You have a great tree there that will only improve with your keen eye. The tree has quiet a lot of history too. It was originally grown by Lee Wilson and started life as a bonsai over 20 years ago.

Regards,
Steven
