Oooh, I like where this is going Boics. The "Hanging Branch" style is one of my favs.

Wonderful trees and inspiration.
@Squizzy - I'd often wondered if anyone had tried one of these. The soft foliage is fantastic. Nice one

As they say in the classic Batman comics - Boom64. Bang2. POW3! [COLLISION SYMBOL]
3 posted; 3 brilliant - love the unique style you exposed in each of the three. And isn’t that reflective of our natives ... Top drawer all. Well done John.
Boics - glad you posted yours too. A thread for all shapes and sizes. I really like your tree. [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Can't really compete against those big bad boys, but I can add a fragile two tree Leptospermum Petersonii (Lemon scented tea) which is still training me.

Yep, what I love about many of these postings is the rugged, weathered nature of them. KC&R’s post here continues the vein
Many of these trees take me back to any given coastal walk where trees of all shapes and sizes of native trees pop up and out of the shrub.
