Tea Tree ID - and digging advice

Post by Mbunro »

Can anyone help with an ID for this tree.
was a huge shrub that extended about 3 metres either side of the pool fence in the photo until we cut it right back to the fence earlier this year.
most growth is coming from some smaller trunks unseen in the photo, but ther are a few small living branches on the big deadwood stumps in the second photo.

So can anyone give a positive ID and possibly point me in the right direction for info on collecting them.

can try get some better photos later, but its in an awkward spot

Think this is little bibi Polygala.
I would of thought more a toppy tree or standard.
Soft wood branches along Fushia line..sort of hollowish but we do what we got to do and no reason why it ain't a prospect.
