Hi All!
I’ve been meaning to post this little guy for awhile but haven’t got around to it.
I dug this up on the side of a dirt road haha. Found a heap more but I’m trialing this one first as I’ve never dug a tree before let alone a native.
Let me know ya thoughts as I’ve got no plan for the style yet!
Cheers,
Pat

If you let it grow it will grow into a "normal" eucalypt. That's a lignotuber, it's grown to store energy and water for later development.

With reasonably constant trimming you can keep it small.
