Hi all,
Managed to save a couple of Syzygium australe (var. 'Tiny Trev,' I think ) from a garden about to be demolished. I only have a handful of starters apart from these few slightly larger new trees.
One of the starters
I'm not too familiar with training this genus, I'm using a mix of about 30% diatomite, 60% potting mix and ~10% zeolite with some native osmocote in the mix. Does this sound ok?
Thanks
Saved Syzygiums

Re: Saved Syzygiums
Sounds like a great mix, and nice score.
They are hardy and take normal wiring an training techniques
A few of those photos look like they are very nice stock trees. Some great shape and movement there

Re: Saved Syzygiums
Cheers Ken, I have ideas for numbers 1 & 3 but 2 I will be hoping for some advantageous back budding I guess. Unless I grow a larger tree out of it?
