Native I.D.
Seeking an I.D. on this little tree. Sat and sulked for a long time but recently has come into its own. Unfortunately have not seen any flowers. Cut back to green originally , fingers crossed it will back bud on old wood. Thanks John.

Re: Native I.D.
Nothing obvious jumps out at me. My inclination would be some sort of melaleuca but it has all the attributes of a great many species and none that appear unique. I guess you will just have to wait and prune to allow flowering to get an ID or go back and check for others where this one came from. Flowers or fruits are much more definitive if you can get either.

Hi John,
Here is a close up of my subulatus if that is any help.

Re: Native I.D.
I would say a Melaleuca/Callistemon of some sort. The very hairy nature of the new growth could be an identifying feature but I have not seen one with that extent before. Definitely not that much on the plant that I have labelled as Callistemon subulatus. Was it collected? Or nursery grown?

Re: Native I.D.
Thanks for the feedback guys ,thought it might have been a hard task without a flower. Personally hoping Craigs call on a subulatus is correct. As Wattos pic of his tree with flower looks very nice. They do seem pretty similar.
The tree was collected from an old farm that was being cleared to make way for a housing development. Fairly close to the ocean, this was the only one I saw like this and it was growing in a bit of a water course. Originally was on the hunt for some prickly paperbark but that's another story.
I will sit on it for now and let a branch go to flower but might take a punt and cut a few branches back to bare wood once the weather warms up.
Cheers and much appreciated John.
