I would guess it was a melaleuca bracteata revolution gold - it looked like it was a collected garden tree to me.
Regards Tony

Sorry Tony Melalueca bracteata does not have paperbark, it is fissured. At a guess from pictures from here, and knowing how many have been exported from here.Bougy Fan wrote:I would guess it was a melaleuca bracteata revolution gold - it looked like it was a collected garden tree to me.
I would say Melalueca rhaphiophylla.
Cheers pup.
I would like to see this in 4years.

Thanks Mel and Tony for posting the photos of the convention.
I am sorry I missed it; looks like there were some great plants on display, and wonderful demonstrations, too.

Not getting rid of me that easy. It was your guess that brought the response. Knowing that M bracteata does not have paperbark.Bougy Fan wrote:As I said a guess - good to know you are still alive Pup

Cheers pup

Cheers guys, it's good to know what it actually is. I also would love to see it in a few years time. Not sure who bought it, but hoping they will share some pics of its progression.
Pup, do you think it'll fight against the weeping training?
Sorry you missed the exhibition, Sonya!

Yes of the ones I have worked on in over 20 they gradually weaken and die off leaving just foliage where it can go back up.melbrackstone wrote:Cheers guys, it's good to know what it actually is.

I have been ridiculed for this claim.
One of the reasons not to active any more.
Botanically it takes at least three growing seasons to prove anything new so a time frame of 2/4 years should do it.
