Amazing Melaleuca

Post by Mount Nasura »

I took this photo a while back when driving around a relatively new released blocks in the Yallingup/Dunsborough area off Quedjidup dr. One of my favourite trees now as it is a native in its natural state with some real bonsai character. I think its Linarifolia, however maybe some one can confirm?

From that area and size more than likely a Melaleuca rhaphiophylla, or M, linophylla.

Lovely tree and photo.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Dying to get down there with my camera. Have been down more times then I count, but never with my new love for nature.

Thanks for sharing :)
