Re: [Craig] - Melaleuca Preissiana
Thanks Glenda, i haven't really done too much, cleaned some older bark from the trunk, so far that's it .
the tree has had some fertiliser and i changed most of the growing medium over to my newer mix
no worries Pup, i tried to get another but

Re: [Craig] - Melaleuca Preissiana
Thanks for the pictures Craig and Pup
I am pretty silly with native names and did not realise this was the exact species I got from Pup.
Looks like it is going well Craig, I am looking forward to it's progress even more now
Thanks again

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

an update with text- the tree is growing fairly strongly considering that i only collected it a few months before this comp started. The amount of shoots that emerge from low down on the trunk amazes me, since collecting i must of removed around 50 shoots, what a pity i couldn't use them in the design. Fertilised every 7 days through spring and into summer. I still need to shorten and shape the top jin a little . All in all the tree should come up a treat for the end of the comp, i'm having a Mudlark pot made for it aswell
thanks for following

Re: [Craig] - Melaleuca Preissiana
It is a very nice tree, the pictures do not tell the whole story in the bark it is a wonderful little tree.
I would be proud to have on my benches.
