Awesome Craig :cool:
What size/age were the two you collected then field grew (compared to now), when you collected them?
There must be a better way to word that question :shock: ...but I hope you understand me.
Cheers, Dario.

Dario, these trees where dumped on my doorstep by a friend who dug them along a railway line, they were about 2.5m tall and the only interesting part was the first 25cm so I cut them back to that. Then removed almost all the root except for a little bit of fibre. That was a couple of years ago. The only reason I planted them in the ground was to get the scars rolling and develop a new apex. I don't think they have thickened much more but I have sorted the new apex on them.
