Blakely’s Red Gum

Hi All,

Just starting a thread for my Eucalyptus blakelyi. Seed was sown in winter of 2018. Plant is now 7 years old and it will probably be a few years more before it goes into a bonsai pot. This is one of my favourite gums - never been wired and lives in full sun. I really like the taper on this one, which has been the result of maintaining many of the lower branches for as long as the plant likes. Starting to fill out nicely.

Cheers, Fluoro.

Nice work Fluorine. Looks awesome. It will be a great bonsai in the near future.

Very nice ... only comment would be to use a beer (or drink) as "scale reference", haha
