    Thanks for your channel. Definitely inspirational. Trying local native plants is what I've been doing for the last three years. Learning a lot and failing a lot more but never giving up and watching you keeps me going 🙏. Watching from the Sunshine Coast

    you are never boring :-) . As for blackbirds.. yeah Ive got lots of them. I fantasise about the slug gun. Sometimes I throw rocks at them and it makes me feel a little better. Chinese elms, I planted two in my front yard last year and hope i dont regret it. Its so hot and dry around here Im sure they wont be too much trouble... If they annoy me I can turn them into bonsai.

      Beautiful shade trees. Just don't cut them down and they probably won't send out suckers 😃😃

    I quite like this pot - will really suit the exfoliating bark of the Chinese Elm. Wonderful explanation of your future path with your trees - I'm looking to do similar with my Canadian natives.

    That's a great idea using the mesh over the moss Sam!! I'm sick of the black birds chucking moss all over the shop...... Going to Bunnings to get some now, ha!

    The shiwan pots made long ago are meant to be made like that. Very rustic looking. They are not meant to be perfect but deliberately made rustic. I dont know if that one is antique though. Id say more vintage than antique, But for $350, its not a rip off. I think the tree and pot combo looks fantastic.

    It all came together at the end. Nice work. As for black birds, I too had that problems in the early days. I dealt with it by purchasing a toy plastic snakes and place one on each tree, every day I would change their positioning, some times two or three times a day. Voila problem solved… the birds were soon gone… try it and let me know how you get on.
    Mine were cheap Chinese imports, each cost £1.

    I was wondering if I’d gotten ripped off also, but, like yourself I liked the pot.

    I have never seen a tree in the wild that has a secondary trunk growing off a lower branch, and its a pity as that branch detracts from the beauty of the upper tree, just my opinion
