Hi Ausbonsai members,
I am lucky enough to be moving from a townhouse to a corner block (yay, more trees!) and am scouting the new yard to determine what plants I will keep and what I will remove.
So, if anyone knows what the following are, I would love to know.
Plant 1. There are 2 of these, and I am planning to remove them:
Plant 2. This is growing as a low sprawling ground cover around the house:
Plant 3 is a small tree which is quite lovely. I don't plan to remove it unless it is invasive:
Get cracking, experts, and tell me what I have!!!

Re: Here are 3 to identify
Agree with sno on all three. Although I’ve never seen asparagus fern flower or fruit so it threw me initially.

Re: Here are 3 to identify
Wow guys, Ausbonsai comes through again. Thanks!
I had a feeling the first was Duranta repens, and will be removing the 2 plants with a clean conscience. There are heaps of Duranta "Sheena's Gold" around the back; I may offer them up for a bonsai dig if anyone is interested.
The Asparagus fern also will go, and I picked up some Austromyrtus today for that spot.
The Tibouchina will stay; it looks like a lovely tree.

Re: Here are 3 to identify
All the Duranta plants produce the poisonous berries, and most have thorns, so beware when cutting!
I've seen some beautiful cascade bonsai with the Duranta repens, and I've got a little Duranta Sheena's Gold in a shohin pot, so don't discount them completely, unless you're just wanting to stick to Aussies
Looking forward to helping you fill up the gaps in the garden....

Yep, I have kept you in mind as survey all the extra space I am going to have. We will miss the mighty benjamina and the amazing ecosystem it supports at our current place though.melbrackstone wrote: Looking forward to helping you fill up the gaps in the garden....
