Hmmm,
The first branch has really improved
The bark colour really is a great match for the pot
The carving has naturalised beautifully
Its a good trunk width to tree height ratio
All in another great tree from one of the doyans of native bonsai.
Thanks for the up-date.

Looking really good Peter :) Just keeps on getting better :tu2:

I always thought lignotubers only formed under or at ground level? I've noticed it on a few street trees, and have always wondered whether its a trait of the tree, or maybe perhaps caused by damage to the tree or something along those lines. Does anyone have any idea? :lost:
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!
