Well Watto,

after carefully examining the pic of your tree I have to honestly say that i really dont see much potential for that tree while it is on that side of Goulburn.... Perhaps if you gave it to someone who lived on the more northern side it would have a future... just a thought, Hey I`m on that side of Goulburn, prehaps I could help you out of your situation.

It it was my tree, I would lose the lower branches, turn it to literati and enter it in the aged and styled division of the competition. Definite a potential winner :)
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
