Howdy,
This is Bunya pine that I have been growing since about 1985. The seed was collected from the church grounds where I was married 1982. I have styled it several times, but it always stays very upright. It is a twin trunk. The crown is not as rounded as in the wild. The compound leaf stays small if pruned hard.

Hi Edward Scissorhands :D I like your Bunya Pine too. They do want to grow very straight don't they and you have done a great job keeping the foliage small. I know they are a hard tree to do. You've done well.
Cheers Carole
