Re: bogie
apologies to those that i may have offended.
to give myself a reasoning i was just going of what i knew about the trees. and the bracts etc.
i am always happy to be corrected as it is something i learn and will not forget.
i didnt mean to sound like a know it all if thats how it came across. as that is the last thing i claim to be. i dont know everything. just a bit about this and a bit about that.
like i said always happy to be corrected.
sorry if i seemed like an a#$

Re: bogie
this is the bougie I bought at Tess's. Just got back from Sydney and the John Hanby event. I did a workshop on Saturday and attended talks and demos on Sunday. I hope to take the electric saw to the bougie on Sunday. Can I repot it into a bigger pot if I don't distrube the roots to much, it is very crowded.

Re: bogie
That's a great stump! Wish mine got that bark, it's magic. And I also wish mine was the red bracts not the purple 
Where are you going to cut it? And you should be ok slip potting it. Mine has been potted already and I am in Melbourne!
What style do you plan for it. So many options.

Re: bogie
At the moment it will be a informal upright and most of the clutter at the top is what I will be taking off at the weekend, although I won't be repotting after all, as my partner is going to Brisbane and I can't lift it by my self, maybe next week.

Re: bogie
You aren't taking any height off it though? That's probably for the best, I love the current movement even if I have to guess a bit
love to see a side shot of it. Looks like it will be a top tree in the near future!

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
