This thread is fantastic, since it is all about mels I have a couple of questions and need one identified, now this is growing in the back-yard here in Hoppers Crossing and we have quite a few babies that have started by themselves in the garden and pots etc, Q1: what type is it? Q2: can I bonsai the seedlings from the garden?

This is the mother tree

Great thread!
I'm loving the Melaleacas at the moment and have a couple of small ones. Pup, yours are inspirational.
Spotted this tree in the city today that I think is a Mel. Any idea on the species? There's no flowers at the moment which makes it a little harder. Leaves are up to 25mm long.
I was thinking of going back and grabbing a cutting from a branch that's out over the path

Hi, looks like Linarifolia
I really do wish they'd hurry up and grow.

Thanks Teejay.
That's not a native to our state, but as it's a street tree you're probably right.
