As the topic states, I am looking to buy both melaleuca Rhaphiophylla & melaleuca cuticularis.
I live in Adelaide and being these are native to WA I haven't found anything available in local nurseries or online.
I am happy to buy tube stock, nursery stock, pre-bonsai, and depending on the dollar value already developed bonsai.
If someone could point me in the right direction, share a link, or show me what you are happy to part ways with I would appreciate it.

I’ve sold stock of both in the last 12 months, but nothing currently on offer although I’m continuing to develop examples of both, sorry. Both species tick lots of boxes for bonsai so I get the attraction. Good luck, not altogether abundant options on offer unfortunately!

Could try from seed? Readily available online, grow fast.

Looks like the suppliers I’ve used before have disappeared. Must be a tough market.
I haven’t used this provider before and can’t provide any guarantees, but they seem to sell both.

Agreed - they are losing business by doing so right there.
