Paperbark

Post by luke4 »

Here is one of my few Aussie natives - Swamp Paperbark.

Got it a couple of years ago and it gave it a major restyling to get it where it is now - It reminds me of an old Paperback growing over water, a very natural image.

It's about 30cms tall - I plan on removing a couple of branches in the future to emphasise the twist at the top..

Suggestions anyone?

Great looking tree. I'm certainly no native expert so I will just admire.

The trunk on that is awesome, particually the bottom two thirds of it.

That's one charmer of a tree, I'm interested in where you go with the top end :)
