Progression thread : Baeckea imbricata 1
This was purchased quite a few years ago at Sutherland Shire council nursery for $4
These guys are quite hardy. They grow well in all types of medium, but they can sulk a bit in a heavy medium. I found a medium mix was better.
I have occasionally let them dry out too much, but they only suffered a little die-back as a result. (but it wasn't bone dry).
The flowers a beautiful, as they snugly fit inside the leaves.
A beautiful tree to grow. If you have them in full sun and a well draining mix, they grow fabulously.
Mine have sprouted shoots all along and down to the trunk as the tree grows, but I didn't have to do anything abnormal to encourage this. Perhaps its the humidity that helps.
In my opinion it is essential to clip-and-grow these, as it encourages wild gnarly growth. Otherwise it can have a tendency to grow long and sparse trying to reach up for sunlight.
