Hi Craig,
Bring her over East to my place and she'll colour and drop them in a flash. Good luck bringing her back, you might have to leave her behind with me thanks to those killjoys in AQIS
Cheers,
Mojo

SWEET Craig
This just keeps getting better and better!
Will this eventually go into a slightly smaller pot, or stay in this one? Not saying it needs it, I am just curious.
Cheers, Dario.

Hey Craig, please make sure you post pics when it does go into the pot you find or have in mind...I for one can't wait to see it!
How I wish this tree was mine

...I guess I will have to try making a broom for myself, as it sounds like a great project and this thread will make a great guide/ how to make a killer broom!
Cheers, Dario.

Funny thing, i sat and looked at this tree for several hours last night again and i can't help but feel that something just aint quite right . A little more pondering , i guess.

I think you did a great job with this composition Craig.
The color and texture of the pot compliments the hollowed trunk of the tree very nicely. I can see your tree sitting on a low bluff during the dry season. This bluff has been undercut a bit by seasonal rains to expose the soil underneath which has dried and cracked.
It's always a treat for me to see another bonsai enthusiasts tree in one of my pots.
Thank you for taking the time to share this great tree with us.
Regards,
Paul
