Your new tree looks good Sno but I think it will have a couple of good scars on it for a few years yet.

Yeah I know it's kinda late and I should not resurrect a thread that old but, I've seen a picture like that not far from my farm, and old tree, with some stuff around it, I think it might be asbestos but I am not sure, I've heard it's dangerous, is it? Should I call an expert? I've found a couple on the internetSno wrote: ↑September 8th, 2019, 8:29 pmJeez boys you aren’t looking hard . I snuck down to Canberra to go to a Canberra Bonsai society meeting because it was such a miserable day in the mountains . On the way home I dug this one .49C4F18D-3236-46FC-ADA9-DFAE161CA907.jpeg .it may not turn out to be much but it does have some wild movement . There was a few more similar there which is now a secret spot .
So My secret spot is part of the the old Monaro Highway . I was half way through digging when a high way patrol copper drove up next to me and asked me what I was doing . Here I am under a big old plum tree digging one of its off spring , which has become a dumping ground for old batteries , asbestos and even some old adult videos ( this is our society ) .
My inner thoughts were ‘here we go ‘. But with a smile and spade in hand I approached his vehicle and said ‘hi I grow bonsai and I am digging up a tree to turn it into a bonsai . With out letting him answer I continued on that I was driving home from going to a CBS meeting in Canberra and that I had some bonsai in the car which I had taken for” show and tell “ and he could have a look if he wanted .
Well to my dismay he declined to look at my trees , saying it was ok . I repeated that he was more than welcome to look at my trees and I was happy to show off my trees . He said “ no it’s ok he had a report of suspicious activity and he was just checking it out . I said he should come and check out the tree I was digging because it had some great movement . He declined , I was a bit disappointed because I was excited with my find . I think he thought I was a bit crazy .
