Not sure what Gmelina this is, just that we use it for hedges. Lifespan ?

Soil - my 1/3 , 1/3, 1/3 , or 2 inorganic to 1 compost/cocopeat / Sustainable Canadian peatmoss.
Placement full sun.
2.5 cm cutting from around 1981 or so.
Easy to grow and look after.
Wood will rot if holes are too large.

First leaves resemble those of a Trident Maple.

Images-
My plan, the defoliated tree, and an old image with leaves and a small effort.
Trunk is about 10 cm

What a lovely tree
Excellent ramification and taper in those branches
How long have you been developing it?

I also love you sketches The have like you do and annotate them with the design points is a special idea. Do you keep them all in an album?

Reminds me of da Vinci sketches!

Absolutely fantastic tree and sketch combination Tambrand.
Any flowers, berries or additional interest with this species?

Regards,

To say thank you Folks!

Ken,

I have been reading up on those soil mixtures from tests and I have to warn you that for the past 30 something years, crushed red brick has been a component in my soil mix, as well as builder's gravel [ silica based ].
This tree uses it at 1/3, 1/3 and 1/3 organic.[ 5mm or so ]
[ I mention this because crushed brick did so poorly, but it is how you blend it.]

It should be about 32 years old and in training. It has to be repotted yearly and our climate is 5 to 6 months no rain, followed by 153 cm of rain. I repot at the begining of the dry season.

I am a Fine Artist by profession, trained in Italy, and I have half a sketch book filled with tree drawings.
The only way to keep track of what you intend to do.
The sanguine probably reminds you Mount Nasura, of Da Vinci, but his studies are way more intense.

Boics,
there are flowers, extremely large , supposedly resembling a shrimp, and only on extremely long extensions.

Just starting the root work.
Later.
