Melaleuca incana 'seamist'
This was purchased from Glendale Wildflower Native nursery in Newcastle in about 2020
Its very hardy, as this was badly neglected for a few years when I wasn't sure if I was keeping it. But as time went on I've really grown to love this tree.
Its been placed into a Pat Kennedy bonsai pot (Australia)

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

Re: Melaleuca incana 'seamist'
This one has just done its thing and continued to grow. I gave it a big cut back in Summer as I prefer the look it has now with the hunched droop, as it seems to better compliment the weeping growth.
I much prefer the look of this Adam Luczak pot for the tree too.

Re: Melaleuca incana 'seamist'
Seems like it has 3 different leaf colours! Good to know the plant can grow on the East coast. I'm very impressed by Patmet's tree. When I saw the specie at the local big box store, they felt pleasantly soft but I was doubtful about their potential in my hands and have a full yard anyway. Seems like this back-buds like a linariifolia, no? Do you agree this plant is about 5 years old?
I'd rather be a tree,
where it's cool & sunny,
than stuck in traffic,
going batshit,
it's the green life for me.
