Very impressive Anthony. I love how you've gotten such a convincing landscape in such a short time. Up here in the Redlands club these Claret tops are very popular, for the same reason!

Coming along nicely.
These trees are deadset bulletproof.
Excellent choice of species for small bonsai.

Cheers Rory, appreciate that...as all can see the heads/foliage are albut, but trunk taper, texture/plates/age and the rest are a time thing as we know you can not buy father time..but a wonderful species to enjoy big or small.
Looking seriously later on to fit two more trees in ?
