I'll take some on the weekend.
They tend to darken I think into autumn / winter then brown off with the frost. Cut back real hard to little stalks in winter to get nice fresh growth in Spring

After the Rugby, and Bathurst had finished I remembered I promised to take a pic for you :-)
The new setting was only done a few weeks ago and needs to fill out the pot

Ray Nesci Usually has some and not much cost.

Dead easy to grow. Just water and fert with the rest of the trees. Cut back to nothing in winter and it regrows in the Spring

at $50 buck I will go into business :-)
