My photos are useless. They are seriously just seedlings, I repotted them about 1 or 2 weeks ago.
The trunks are thinner than a pencil. I’ll do pics in a few years.
I trialed nesophila years ago and can’t remember why I didn’t persuade them.
I think it died when I had really low sun, but so far it seems okay.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

Hi Gav.... as requested...GavinG wrote:Photos gentlemen please, both wild and potted. Also Rory,where did you get them over this side? I haven't seen them.
Gavin
Melaleuca heugelii
It passed the first test... its still alive.
I cut off about 50% of the roots during its first repot.
Its the only Mel I have where nothing eats it, and it also tolerates wet feet. Winning so far.
The juevenile foliage is very cute.
