Melaleuca decussata

Post by Hornet »

Just went to the markets to have a look what was round and picked up a nice little Melaleuca decussata tubestock, was the shortest plant they had but also has the thickest trunk. Will get some native suitable potting mix and upgrade its pot size this week and will get sopme pics up today some time.

Nice selection
I have had 2 bu one had died and theother is in the ground to grow on

The one that died has always been in a pot and I was going to enter it into the Native comp last year, but it carked after repotting :-(

Wasnt a bad looking plant, sad to hear you lost it. Unfortunatly being in a rental property it limits me being able to put anything in the ground so for now i'll just be growing everything in pots. Give this guy some time, hopefully it will thicken out a bit then i can get to work.
