[Category 2] Hakea sericea

Post by MattA »

I collected this tree ahead of bulldozers with an entire ball of soil & root which was slipped into this broken terracotta pot that fit it perfectly. Apart from a light trim before taking the photo's I have done no other work beyond removing the small deadwood that seemed to fill most of the now void space. I have yet to decide on a front so include the 2 most likely.

Hakea sericea - Silky Hakea, Needlewood
Collected Jan 2011
65cmH x 50cmW
