Curator of the National Bonsai & Penjing Collection of Australia, Leigh Taafe, visits Chojo Feature Trees in Mount Evelyn, Victoria. If you are going to take the Radiata, you are going to need a bigger van. Thanks for the visit. Looking forward to see you next time.

I'm watching this tree with a keen interest and looking forward to seeing its progress.
Great material that will only improve over time.

With Leigh standing beside it you get an indication of its size.

And to think it only took 4 men and a forklift to pot it up :)
