Thank you! Looking at other's work and then working out the steps to "improve" the result is a great way to learn the processes and techniques. And it really highlights that a tree is never "finished", there is always more work to do . . . !
Wonderful series David. Australia has it all to produce stunning endemics- challenging climate, geographical sequestration, and genetics allowed to evolve slowly as a result of those factors. Your commentary was a welcome addition pointing out not only your personal opinion, but solid principles of engaging design- (positive space/negative space interplay, complexity and placement of fine ramification, and proportional relationships between individual elements. Oh, and suitability of container, as well.) Kudos for featuring local material in this episode! Not the stuff we find in these northern climes!. Thanks!
Thanks David , I have two natives not including the many ficus , a Melaleuca copper tops and a Captian Cook bottle brush , so thanks for the styling tips , the idea being to keep a more rounded top ? . Also why do you have no Australian natives?
I’m always on the lookout for a beautiful specimen of a native. I don’t want to start from scratch and really just want to have an amazing one or two trees just to enjoy and maintain.
I'm sad to see the series end, but it ended with the awesome Australian natives!! I hope you do more of these videos!
Thanks Nigel.
David, some lovely gnarly trees.

Thank you. They are a stand out in the collection.
Another great video. I agree re the styling of natives. Natural is better.
They are magically when styled natural and not in the triangle pine shape.
👍👌🙂🙂

@Bonsaiworx oh yes, I understand, and that type of tree is expensive too .
Well, I hope you find one.
