AusBonsai

I have no idea which species this is but I do know that the seeds are quite viable as they were all growing in my garden or in my bonsai pots and I am presuming that they are seedlings from the tree next door, but unfortunately that has now been cut down so an ID is difficult for me. I do have the Eucalyptus ID app but I struggle to use it as you need to know quite a lot before it gives you some suggestions. Anyway I'm ready to go.
I have 10 or 11 plants and the plan is to make a forest but I'm not sure if I'll need all of these but time will tell. The cost was nothing and as you can see these have not been worked on, but a couple have been blown of the bench which has resulted in a few having funny shapes.
I started using a clear plastic rule but changed to the tape measure as that appeared clearer.

Polyanthemos?

Edit - scrap that, leaves aren’t alternating enough and too small.

A euc group planting! Loving this entry.
Can’t wait to see this develop over the years Watto.

Don't try to ID Eucs from juvenile leaves. They are usually completely different from the real adult leaves that start to appear when the tree gets to a couple of years old. Nearly all Eucs start out with small, rounded leaves, even the species that will end up with long, narrow adult foliage.

Ohhh I didn’t know. Thanks for the info. I won’t get upset when mine sprout then and look like the wrong trees...

I haven't been idle, I've made the container for the group planting. Next the planting process!

That looks ideal Watto

They look a little like E. parvifolia to me, with that small flattened oval leaf. Interested to see how they grow, I've only just started with them.

Like your choice of container. I’m working on something very similar for my group planting. Was hoping it might give me an edge as my skill isn’t there but now you’ll probably show me up. Oh well, something to draw inspiration

I wasn't sure if the "pot" I posted counted as a post, so I took a photo of the plants just to make sure I'm still in, but I have to admit I have done nothing with the plants.

I must confess I have been very slack in regards to this comp and have done nothing to the trees except water them, but today was the day.
First up, dust off the slab and put some mesh over the holes.

Then I super glued a support into the bottom of the slab so I could attach some wires to hold the trees in place should that be necessary.
The support should disappear over time.

I then got out some "muck" and put it around the edge of the slab (like a big kid playing with mud).

I then trimmed up the roots and planted nine trees. As it was 30 deg C there are no photos as time was of the essence but here is a photo of the project to date.

Geez Watto... there’s no mucking around with you!
Nice little composition developing, I really like where you are heading with this, the container/pot is working a treat!
