both are of mine are very happy and health in bonsai containers but the houn is such a slowwwwwwwwww grower i had to bring both over on the spirit of tassie the houn is possibly over fifty years and only stands about 3-4 foot but my cellery top is younger and stands about the same!

Sounds intresting Damo looking forward to the pictures.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Hi Damian,
You will be waiting two lifetimes for these trees to do anything which is fine. There is a melbourne grower who likes this kind of material hes in his 80s now and still plugging on with these Tassy conifers. I have to agree with you that they are truely beautiful trees.
