Eucalyptus Twin Trunk

Post by John Henry »

Have only had this Eucalypus for about six months, I repotted it but have done no wireing as yet.

This is spectacular! What I wouldn't give to have a beastie like this on my benches one day (when I could actually do it justice!). That base is just so evocative of the eucs you see along dry creek beds in the outback. Be very keen to see how you go with the wiring and foliage work, I think this has to be my favourite euc bonsai - and that's after being at the NBPC in Canberra only late last month!

Note to self: must start euc project!!

Good strong base - it will be interesting to see what you do with the foliage. Do you know how long it took to grow those trunks? Were they ground-grown?

Hi Gavin I have no history on the tree at all,it had been in the same pot for years when I got it, I would say it was originally dug as some of the soil was very clay like.

Hello John how are you. This tree looks very similar to a tree that Grant, and I critiqued at Yarra Valley last year, when I was over for the convention and a visit.

I like it very much but your safe cant send it here plus its too bloody big for me. Just finished watching the Cricket 5 nil coming up.
