Have only had this Eucalypus for about six months, I repotted it but have done no wireing as yet.

Re: Eucalyptus Twin Trunk
This is spectacular! What I wouldn't give to have a beastie like this on my benches one day (when I could actually do it justice!). That base is just so evocative of the eucs you see along dry creek beds in the outback. Be very keen to see how you go with the wiring and foliage work, I think this has to be my favourite euc bonsai - and that's after being at the NBPC in Canberra only late last month!

Re: Eucalyptus Twin Trunk
Good strong base - it will be interesting to see what you do with the foliage. Do you know how long it took to grow those trunks? Were they ground-grown?

Re: Eucalyptus Twin Trunk
Hi Gavin I have no history on the tree at all,it had been in the same pot for years when I got it, I would say it was originally dug as some of the soil was very clay like.

Re: Eucalyptus Twin Trunk
Hello John how are you. This tree looks very similar to a tree that Grant, and I critiqued at Yarra Valley last year, when I was over for the convention and a visit.
I like it very much but your safe cant send it here plus its too bloody big for me. Just finished watching the Cricket 5 nil coming up.
Cheers Pup
Ps I have a new camera now,
