This is is the first time this Eucalyptus has shed its bark since being put into a Bonsai pot. ( 2 years ).

I like it. They seem to do well with carved trunks.

Sure looks suitable to me! I've got a handful of E. scoparia seedlings that I'm attempting to grow out as a Mallee-style clump, and if it turns out half as impressive as you tree, I've got something to look forward to! I now see why this species is referred to as the Wallangarra White Gum. One question: when the bark started to shed, were you able to resist the temptation of peeling some off yourself?  I look forward to seeing updates on this tree. Thanks. Fly.

Sister Tree
I thought I would post the sister tree. Not all the bark has released yet.
I have a few malle I picked up at the yearly sales at the National Botanic Gardens. The multiple trunk look ( Mallee ) is a style I am trying to develop too. The scoparia would look sensational in this style. Looking forward to seeing the results in the years to come Peter |
