Melaleuca Rhaphiophylla

Post by [ Kane ] »

Hi all.

I picked up this tree at the Brisbane show (Bimer Club) this weekend.

Firstly, thanks to all involved, especially for having some stock on the 2nd day & for the advice offered.

I'm looking for advise & tips on this new tree. I love Melaleucas but this is my first M. Rhaph.

Do they back bud well?
Should I shorten any branches at this stage?

Pup. Looking to you & others :)

Thanks
Kane

My First words would be not a rhaphiophylla, if it is it is very young, Immature foliage and as you can see they do bud back.
