[Category 3 - Melaleuca linariifolia ]

Post by deepeetee »

Hi All,

Attached is a series of photos of what i have done so far with this tree.

I bought this piece of stock once i saw the banner come up on the forum for the Native Competition.

A Repot into a Mudlark Pot. Thanks Penny.

This is where the tree has remained for the past 3 weeks. I was hoping to wire some movement into the branches and particularly into the top of the trunk, but the tree is taking a little longer to recover from the repotting than i anticipated, so it will have to do for now.

Unfortunately not exactly what i had in mind, but with a lot more work it should fill out nicely in a few years.

Thanks for having a look.

Dave
