Exactly 12 months ago a Eucalyptus popped up in a Bunya Pine experiment I have going on.
I let it grow in the pot thinking I could something with it later. In 12 months the thing outgrew it pot mate and I was experimenting with just hand-bending the trunks every now and then.
I was hoping for a good root system but the root went straight down the side of the bucket and into the ground. had to cut the root further back to a stump of about four inches long where two feeder roots had at least begun to do something.

anyway this is where it is today,
hope you like
Merry Christmas

That's fantastic growth for such a short period of time. I like where it's headed-very natural

Man you do grow them fast up there - great envy! Any idea what species? What are the trees around you?

Just an update for this one, has had another season and I de-foliated back in August.
In the process the second stump did not re-foliate at all, not sure why the other trunk sprung back, no probs.
Have begun a scarring process on this as a trial to reproduce viewtopic.php?f=106&t=20611&hilit=+gnarly#p209693
I will pot this one up a few sizes next repot and expose a bit of the nebari a little bit at a time, its just on two year old so I have some time.
thanks for lookin'

Shame bout the second trunk/tree.

I see a nice feminine little tree happening here.

Just an update as it gets wired for shape, now three years old.

Nice curves Watty looking good. Pot is also very nice.
