Ha ha ha Brett. They are all for sale, but at a price. There is nothing there less than about 50 years old. They take 2 people to lift in most cases. The trunks are just insanely thick with massive to

A bit hard to spot the tree in this picture with all the luscious green growth! However its a very healthy looking planting. The large expanse of the same moss might be made a little more interesting

Now would be a good time to winter prune. This means to cut back the twigs to 2 buds. This increases ramification. Its a good idea to do this sort of pruning about 1 week or so after the leaves have d

I Agree Darren. I watched all his videos before i got into carving. Must have watched them a few times each. Really helps. Watching Graham Potter also was very interesting.!

Great start Terry. Once you get the hang of carving it almost becomes an addiction..!!!! The carving i did a few weeks ago is already cracking and the live stuff is shooting everywhere:)

Hi Emile It is a Juniper.. not 100% sure of the variety but most likely a variety of Juniper chinensis. It is the wrong time to repot this now. How much soil and roots did you take off..? There is a
