I was looking for information on Dorothea Mackellar and came across this image:

It is a perfect scene for an Australian pot-landscape. The wire-fence is particularly romantic (for me anyway).

-- There are no horizontal branches on that old gum tree.

Hi Daiviet , there are plenty of gums that inspire me up here . The ovens highway runs from Wangaratta to Omeo . Its now known as The Alpine Way . I have been meaning to take some pics but i forget the camera , not all gums have drooping branches thats true . Cheers Alpineart

This is a perfect example of the way gums grow with ascending branches to minimise the amount of heat they're exposed to during our long hot summers.

Hay Bosnia Brudders. I thingk Gumtree inspiration should be taken from large dead trees, Red gums or what ever.
This is only my opinion, I do think the images of living gums look good and show nice canopies but the the dead ones show the main larger 3 or 4 branches and then the canopy is up to YOU, Imagine the designs that you could come up with the trees in this image ... Just my thoughts

Looks like, and reminds me of the trees that call "Lake Eildon" and "Bonnie Doon" home... "Ahhh the serenity!"
