Hi guys,

I'm living in North west Australia at karratha. I have noticed heaps of these trees about the place and think they maybe a contender for an airlayer or 2 .

Hi Paul,

I don't think your files are attached. You may wish to try again.

Hi,

I would ID it as either Hibiscus tiliaceus or Thespesia populneoides. Despite the large leaves in-situ they make phenomenal bonsai - search Hibiscus tiliaceus bonsai Taiwan.

cheers, Ash

I agree with Ash, Hibiscus tiliaceus. I took an aerial layer off my mum's tree (started in Sept 14 and removed from tree 8 weeks later with a mass of roots) and the new tree is powering ahead. Have at it! :tu:
Peace
