Nice work :-)
the second one is very nice, but I am not sure about the first one. The long straight low branch and cascade bit looks out of charachter to me

Hi John Henry , mate after seeing these in the flesh i've come to the conclusion that you take a pic as good as i do . They both certainly look 10 times better through my eyes than your lens . The camera doesn't do justice to the size and quality of these buggers .

Cheers Alpine

Geezzzz!!! My hat off to you, John! :tu: :tu: :tu:

Species called Leptospermum laevigatum, common names also Australian Myrtle or Victorian Tea Tree.
Not meant to be patronising, I look up things mainly for myself and then decide to share.

Thanks for posting. They rarely survive digging up, so good wild trunks are exceptional. Most lepto bonsai have predictable trunk lines - these are anything but.

Happy to help out if you have trouble getting rid of them.

(What soil mix have you put them in? Is it anything like the soil they came from?)

Very impressive trees. Can you describe your collection methods as these are difficult to transplant from what I have read.
