On recent trip to Canberra I picked up two excellent bits of stock.
The trees have a decent lineage coming from two of our better members so I will endevour to follow their progress here.
A bit of wire, some bike tyre, a turnbuckle or two and we will be halfway there for number one. Number two is a bit mroe difficult to decide, so many options, multi trunk, cascade, etc etc so I ended up running away for today.
Fantastic stock thanks gents (you know who you are!)
Ill update as I go.

Re: Shimpaku Juniper
Here is a pic of the tree you pointed out Hartos. It is an example of what you can get after a few years work on one of these.

Re: Shimpaku Juniper
Ive managed to not look at the picture before posting so I can see it as you will.
This is the page on my notebook I sketched a couple of the trees I saw last week. (wish my brain would remember more of them)
