I have had my eye on a few trees to collect but as I am still trying to consolidate my collection I can't keep adding too it. I figure I can bring some to the city to sell off.
So I decided to also collect a few over Winter and sell or trade them come spring when I head to the City.
I was planning on a few easy ones to start with but jumped right in with one of the bigger ones.

This makes it a natural setting of olives that can also be manipulated to a large degree :tu:

I will start the bidding at $300 ono There are a few more similar to collect so if this one goes I can also take orders. Payment would generally not be until Spring when the tree is showing obvious signs of health and would be delivered to Sydney or Canberra when I plan to travel for events. But I am open to offers if you want the tree earlier.

How about a privet. Ray tells me these are a very special and rare tree :shifty: :lol:
I thought this one had more movement than this but it should be lots of fun to do some carving with. $35

I put your name on it Scott :yes:

Hey Pup I would be happy to send over a couple of Shohin. I will check to see what the issue is as I am sure the commercialised sector would be able to have them over. Don't like my chances but I am always interested.

How talented can I be when I forgot to put feet on sf4 before it dried too much :lol: Thanks for the encouragement though Mr and Mrs Pup :wave:

These pots are simply a useful container for these trees as I said they are not export quality. There is a fault with each or I think they are just ugly or both :lol: I thought I would never find a use for that one Scott's Little olive is in. If you end up liking the pot then think of that as a bonus.

Brett,

I'll take the first shohin for 35 bucks if no one bought it. If its with the pot I am willing to offer 50 including post to Melbourne.

If someone has put their hands up first then I will retract my offer as I don't want to step on anyone's toes :whistle:
