Eucalyptus moorei
I bought this tree a few years ago ,it was growing in a 150 mm pot . It was in a pond pot for a couple of years , it was ok but not thickening fast so i put in an old garden sieve . Since then I've been growing then chopping . It is quite blowy here at the moment ( october ) and it was flapping around so I decided to give it its annual chop .
The first chop was with branch cutters ,the other cuts I left a stub and then later jinned. The plan is to keep growing and chopping until the bark starts to mature .You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Think the stub / Jin approach is the way to go, going to try this on mine next time around instead of pruning flush with branch cutters

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Hello Sno,
Interesting species, after researching moorei, it appears a perfect Bonsai specimen.
Good luck with this one.
Looking forward to your updates, very impressive movement so far.
Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Another gum with a great start sno. I read up on this species too and as stated above it does sound like a good choice of material.
We need a lot more people attempting gums. Great work for the gum fans sno!

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Hi Craig . I like the result with stubs over flush too. Even if you don't want Jin I have found it will heal quicker starting with a stub .
Cheers Craig

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Hi Kevin . At the moment this tree is behaving nicely . Every time I chop it sends out a little branch close to the chop which I use for next years leader . It takes the uncertainty out of it ,leaves are quite small too .
Thanks will keep you posted . Craig

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Hi BB . I'm a big fan of this species give it room to move it responds well to growing .
I have another one that I started at the same time which is still in a pond pot . It's got better movement but it's still a twig . It's been chopped every year too .time to find a bigger pot me thinks .

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Well I was thinking about putting in to a 'worm farm pot ' to really kick it along .GavinG wrote:Damn fine work. You're not over-potting, by any chance?

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Another year .
I'm after something in the Goldilocks zone . I've cut back hard to try stimulate a bud where I want it . I need to root work this year so when I get my bud ( eternal optimist and I touched wood ) I'll work on them towards the end of November .
So I jinxed myself this year I've got a bud but it's to low . It's a bit hard to see ,it's on the line of the new and old growth .Sno wrote:Hi Kevin . At the moment this tree is behaving nicely .

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
No, you didn't over-pot it! Great base, good potential. I'd hack it in the middle of the boring bit, but I can be a bit heavy-handed...
Best of luck, please keep posting.

Re: Eucalyptus moorei
Nice development on this one so far Sno, I am sure it will continue to improve under your care! I agree with you that this species has a lot of potential.
Have you had any success with the coccifera seeds I sent. Mine are just starting to pop.
