The Melaleuca Triplets

Post by Watto »

In November 2022 I dug three Mel's, Melaleuca armillaris I think.
At the location where they were they all had very similar movement because of the environmental factors, a pronounced C shape.
They were a bit raggedy but I thought they may have some potential with time (and plenty of pruning and wiring).
This is the big sister....

This one is the middle sister, a twin trunk that has had a little bit of work so far.

Last but not least is the little sister that has had a bit more work than the others.
Hopefully they will all be good in a few years. I have noticed that this species is a prolific grower so there is hope.
