    Giant redwood.

    Thanks for the info Rob. I have another 3 that I've put in larger pots to just let go for a while. This one didn't have any lower branches, they had already been removed. It is a Sequoiadendron giganteum.

    Root prune and re-pot.

    They wont break dormancy until spring now. I just figured now would be the best time for root work since they aren't growing and with no leaves the roots aren't absorbing nutrients.

    Root prune and re-pot.

    Now that we are in winter over here (Australia) and my trident maples and elm have dropped their leaves, is it ok to start root pruning them and re-pot or should I wait until spring?

    Sequoiadendrom giganteum

    Not grown from seed. The last time I tried growing them from seed my cat ate them.

    Sequoiadendrom giganteum

    Here is one of my giant redwoods after a quick prune and adding some shape. I will now let it recover and see how it does in spring.

    Olive, first time carving.

    This olive is very very healthy. I have had to cut back the foliage a number of times over the last 6 months. It's forever throwing out new buds everywhere.

    Olive, first time carving.

    This is one of 3 olive tree stumps I dug up over 6 months ago. They have had to be cut back a number of times. They have been powering along really well. Now I have decided to have a go at carving. I've never done it before but thought I might give it try. This is all I have taken out...

    I.D help

    I'm not sure what this tree is, a few people have said it could be a Mexican White Cedar. A friend of mine was going to through it out, he didn't like the way he had wired it so I took it. Any ideas??

    My swamp cypress

    I bought this for $80 on the weekend. I've always a decent sized swamp cypress to play with. Even though it has its autum colours it still has some fresh green shoots coming through.
