Bump this

Is this tree still kicking along Pup? Hard to find specific info on this species

Sold on so have no info, although I believe it has since died. They do bud back but not prolifically.

I have found nesophila to be one of the best adapting WA species of mels for the brisbane climate. I have a few growing that bought in WA when i visited Pup. They don't bud back well on bare wood so safer to cut to lowest branches.
Has a beautiful flower.

Brilliant, I’ve got a tiny tube stock seedling on the go right now and it has plenty of leaves and a few low branches. Might turn out to be quite nice in the coming years!


Thanks,
