Thanks for the update Terry.
As you said I am sure it looks better in real life but, from pics of previous updates I was having trouble finding a clear styling direction to take (probably my limitations).
Now it not only looks much better with the change in planting angle, but it also has direction.
They grow fast so it will be good to see the foliage fill out and become more defined in the next couple of years.
Cheers, Dario.

The change of angle suits it very well, and lightening the texture really works. Some natives just don't seem to suit dense clipped pads - this looks a lot better, and a lot more complex.

Digging might be better in warmer weather.

I don't think Terry has been on for 12 months but wishful thinking for an update :)
