This tree is a garden yamadori collected 6 years ago. The drift wood in the back was the original trunk which just kept dieing back then stopped.

I then carved it, and I call this tree Dragon flying though the clouds.

As apposed to Dragon rising though the clouds the name of one of my favorite trees.

It is 17inches high ( 43cm ) it is 17 inches wide ( 43cm ) the base is
5 inches (12.5 cm )

It is an Australian Native, the original name was Baeckia virgata ( twiggy heath myrtle ).
It was changed to Babingtonia bidwillii, then back to virgata it is still sold in nurseries under its original name
Cheers Pup
