Awesome! I want one, no, two (never hurts to have a spare). And it even comes in the right color, Catepillar Yellow.

You've got to love serious gardening tools. Thanks Craig, :clap:

I think that would be called a 'shovel' bodhi.

You could certainly do some damage with that thing.

But so much FUN though! :cool:

Thanks for the link to the dyna digger Ken,

that has got my creative thought juices flowing with that powered shovel.

Had to take a second look though when the video first started up, thought I had opened up an episode of world of bonsai !!

Seems they share the same intro theme!!

Thanks,


Paul C.

G,day Craig I am not sure but the Guy in welshpool road wattle grove digs Grass trees ( Xanthorrhoea preissii ) ( Christmas trees( Nuytsia floribunda) and has now started digging Melaleucas. He might use one of them as he has a fantastic survival rate.

He even had some Christmas trees in the Perth Zoo grounds.

A very handy weapon for digging :tu:

Cheers Pup :yes:

I did not realise a Nuytsia could be transplanted. Do you know if the host was dug up too? I tried to germinate some a while back with suitable hosts in the pot but didn't even get germination. Are they cultivated in Perth or only wild?
