I stopped by my uncle's this arvo after work and helped him retrieved this 20 years old pot-bound Fire thorn. If you look carefully, you'll see what is left of an orange plastic pot among the roots. I have had my eyes on this one from the corner of his garden ages ago but only managed to convinced him to dig it up today. It did look too bad after all. The base is really huge!

That is great potential Kvan. Lucky you
They are water hungry little trees once in a pot.

Guy, Bodhi and Bretts, actually it's not my tree
I wish it was. However, I will be able to have a lot of inputs in this one as my uncle is very open minded and often listens to my opinion.
Will keep you updated with this one.
