Some interesting material that I have my eye on.

I'm giving serious consideration to relocating some of these stumps to my back yard, what do you think?

The first one ... I like that dragon branch on the left but not sure about the rest of it.
The second has a bit of a dragon look to it too.
The third is an interesting twin trunk as the branches flow together well.
The fourth is my favourite, very interesting.

Species and size would be interesting to know if possible.

I think I'll be down in early spring for a conference (October...) in Adelaide. My previous trips have come in the February through April time frame. John

Ok since no one else asked, how big is your dog? He could be huge or maybe even really small. )

Wow!

I would sure love to come across some finds such as those! The olive trees are awsome specimens from the leaves to the bark. I wish we had awsome trees like that here in Jackson, TN.!!!
