This Is straight off the rock grown naturally, a good prune now its let it grow and see just how it needs changing. There was not a tap root as it was growing flat on the Granite rock hence it fitted perfectly in the flat pot . No soft leaf each leaf has three wicked spikes on it. Over 2/3 of the leave's have been already removed to get to this stage and all the flower have been removed to lessen the stress on the plant so it can recover. I measured the tree today 600mm high good size for the 550mm pot.
Very sad foot note to this tree it grew very well in Spearwood but did not like the move to Merriwa. I believe it was killed by the Salt in the air march 2021 it no longer grew but just died. This gave me the one chance to cut the main trunk and look how old it was, 70+ rings if its one ring per year. I will never bring to this home another tree to this home for fear of the same.
PIP. leaf of the tree left bottom side right top side 45mm x 35mm. you cant miss the spikes.
PIP 2 The tree is the one on the right in the moon light on the rock. Detail of this shot

This is two shot put together In Photoshop One of my Milky way Bows South Top and a Bow by Helber Pontes from the North Bottom. this came about by a Question from Ko and my wife as well "so if its the same all the way around what does it all look like".
Kind of in the same phase so you get to see just what it just might look like if you could put it all together as a circle. I am not that good but at least we can see the two together.
Certainly gives me the understanding of the difference between the two.
