Fire Thorn Dig - a 20 years old untrained garden plant
I stopped by my uncle's this arvo after work and helped him retrieved this 20 years old pot-bound Fire thorn. If you look carefully, you'll see what is left of an orange plastic pot among the roots. I have had my eyes on this one from the corner of his garden ages ago but only managed to convinced him to dig it up today. It did look too bad after all. The base is really huge!

Nice one Kvan, They are great trees to work with so have fun. 
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Guy, Bodhi and Bretts, actually it's not my tree 
I wish it was. However, I will be able to have a lot of inputs in this one as my uncle is very open minded and often listens to my opinion.
Will keep you updated with this one.
