Here is a display of Shohin natives trialing a new backdrop even though black our sun is strong.

Top shelf Casaurina equisetifolia top, next shelf down left to right Melaleuca lynofillya sbsp, Calytrix glutinosa,
bottom Eucalyptus ficifolia, Melaleuca cuticularis.

Awesome Pup! Simply amazing

I'm hoping to have a few Ficifolia's in the future, was the first tree I was ever able to name from my old man's teachings, so have some nice memories attached to it

Hi Pup
they are terrific trees
i specially like the stubby ficifolia
the Calytrix i havent seen before but it looks really good

Very impressive Pup. I'm particularly interested in how you achieved the "leaf" reduction with the Casuarina.

Hi Peter, constant pinching, and I mean constant.

Some people here in the West gave up, saying getting up in the middle of the night to pinch is not allowed

At least twice a month I also have allocasuarina with small foliage. Again constant pinching.

Cheers Pup

Great display Pup! Thanks for sharing.

It's going to take me a while to get used to your new backdrop. Your trademark blue one is instantly recognisable.

Regards,
Steven

I have worked out that I need a much more overcast day than we are expeiencing at the moment. Also my blue one was not conducive to magazine publications I am told.
Cheers Pup
