If you're ever looking to sell I'm in Perth too... ;)

G, day Mate just remembered you asked a question. These two trees are from nursery stock about 12 years ago, did not like them as one, so I layerd them with the result as shown. Wire and clipping, to get the ramification some small ajustments still , but that is Bonsai. Always look to improve the tree. The broomy style was the bottom.
