Now that's a very interesting species! I'm growing it down here in Canberra, from tube stock sourced in Sydney! It seems to be growing well here - interesting angles naturally, rough bark early, robust, fine detail - I'm curious how well it grows as far north as Bundaberg! Please keep posting them.

Absolutely @GavinG I've managed to grow a few leptos successfully from seed, polygalifolium, rotundifolia, grandiflora and juniperum from memory so hopefully these will play the game too.

I got one lone seedling out of that. Not sure if I have more seeds to have another go, will have a look.
