Hi guys,

Thanks for all your replies. I decided to take some better shots of the tree for easier identification. I googled some of your suggestions and i don't think any of those are right. Have a look at these photos and tell me what you think. Also, since I posted on here I have left the tree inside, and the leaves seem to be changing from red back to green :?:

Any help appreciated!

Thanks :mrgreen:

That is the name which I can never remember, I have one of these at home. They have an unusual growth habit, the roots thicken really well into a solid mass below soil level and shoots grow from this mass. These shoots sometimes die back and the plant sends out new shoots this results in a large root mass with skinny shoots coming off of it. Shoots are long and lack taper and will not ramify until they are cut back new shoots appear in winter and have a nice reddish tinge.
I think they might make nice bonsai but you must work on the ramification by constantly cutting bach these long shoots.

This wouldn't be one of those Australian Pines, the name of which escapes me, would it?

I don't think it is one of these, but you're not thinking of the Wollemi Pine are you?

Hi I have one of these, Its common name on tag was flaming heath, can't remember botanical name. It has little bell shaped flowers, an unusual habit of forming a bulbous groth at soil surface and if you chop it right back which is what I do it has the most gorgeous coloured new growth hence the flame part of common name.
Quite a few of us in the club bought these last year, I think at the box hill show.

Have attached a pic of mine for compare
