Ted's Angophora Costata

Post by The Hacker »

Hi All,

Here is a photo I took of Ted Poynton's Angophora Costata, about 20 year's ago, I know the photo is not that good but it's the only one that I have. After looking at the thread form Grant I thought it would be good to see how it has changed over the year's

Hi Trent,

Thank's for posting that link, as you can see the way the tree has changed over the last 20 year's, I was also looking at that link that's what gave me the idea to poat this so all can see how it has changed,

Hi Booga

Yes it is a gum & I must say it's a very very nice one at that, I think it's about 30 plus year's old as a bonsai but that's only a guess
