Brad, I started in 1984 but that does not mean anything as I am a very slow learner. I have around 60 Trees consisting of Figs (Qld small leaf, Benjaminer, Green Island, Nerifolia, Port Jackson, Virens and Tiger Bark) Maple, Juniper (Chinese and Japanese), Jacaranda, Bougainvillea, Star Jasmine, Azalea, Black Pine, Swamp Cypress, Chinese Elm, Zelkova, Buxus and a few others that don't come directly to mind at the moment.

Not to worry Pup. My wife and I are going to take time out to travell this great country of ours - Look for the big fifth wheeler pulling up in your driveway.

Thanks for the sentiment AAron depending on how much it will cost to get the rig across the bay we would realy like to visit the little island as well.

I have made a lot of friends on this site and I will remember.

I see in your profile your fav species is "all", by the looks of the trees you have, i would say that is a fairly accurate statement Jon!

It must be hard to sell all the things you've put so much time and effort into...
have fun travelling the country mate!

Do you think you will start a collection again once you've finished travelling?
