Just seeing how healthy your stock is, is a credit to you Pup. Very nice. I particularly like the 1st and 5th as well. The strength of that base on the last one looks so powerful. Love the mother and son in the first one.

I've not heard of M elliptica. I love the way the trunk twists.

A good paperbark is probably the most aesthetically beautiful material that Australia has. :clap: At least you can grip a paperbark hard by the butt and it wont break apart like a good casuarina does with its fissured bark.

Speaking of casys, how is that Casuarina cunn. of yours coming along which was split in two and appears to be walking.

At the moment, the wallabies are all feasting on my Mels. :palm: Who needs to prune your stock when you have native animals doing it for you. :no:
If they ever become show quality, it will read: Melaleuca halmaturorum, grown from seed, trained by Wilbot and Walter the local wallabies.

The mother and son as you put it, is actually a split trunk it is a natural hollowed out trunk by fire. Glad you like it one of my favourites too. The Cassy is still trying, but it is one of those trees when I have nothing better to work on it gets some attention.

Pup, any time you post updated pics on your trees, we :worship: them. It summons the exact same sentiment we get from seeing a new post from Pat Kennedy with a pic of one of his new pots.

The fact that that was naturally hollowed by fire is amazing Pup. Beautiful. Very beautiful.
