Lovely little tree.

I'm not so sure that the style is that natural for an Aussie native but the result is certainly pleasing to the eye nonetheless.

I'd like to hear a bit about your care and maintenance if you'd be so kind?

Cheers.

I can see a great literati in that trunk line :tu:

Nice photography too Ben!

I think I agree with Steven - I would be concerned about the trunk fattening where all those lower branches come out at the same level. And yes nice photography :tu2:

It's in a course mix of scoria, zeolite , fine pine bark, and diatomite, watered everday, misting spray during wet season, feed all year with seamungus caked on top, monthly replacement of seamungus a bit of superthrive foliar spray every now and then, repotted in mid autumn

Lol it's not the photography it's the camera shot with a Hasselblad h4d40, really wish I can get my bonsai magazine of the ground!!!!too much to do not enough time!!!

I'm not sure how it will develop with the trunk thickening up but it will be interesting to see how it will develop, I wouldn't be concerned i'd just be curious
