Looks bloody awesome. do you put a saucer of water under it? If so, what time of year? Just summer?

Generally I’ll put a tray under my melaleuca trees during the hotter months, it definitely doesn’t seem to hurt them. Right now it is having a “rest” in a shady spot for a week or so, when I move it back to full sun it will get something to sit in most likely.

A post-work clean up session for this Melaleuca today.
Really like the tree/pot combo for this, one of my favourite combinations.
It's kinda fun to flick between the first 2 images to see the reduction in foliage. If only it was that quick when I'm doing it!

Ridiculous how you can get basically a seedling to this in that time frame . Really well done R3. Love it !

outrageous work Ryan, such a beautiful tree in such a short period of time. Inspiring stuff mate

Thanks for the kind words fellas, much appreciated!
It has been a pretty quick turnaround, just under 6 years since I first posted for this tree, and no ground growing either which hopefully gives some people a bit of encouragement ... particularly when it comes to the current "6 years from seed" comp!

The beauty of a progression thread is the timeline you create as it evolves and how easy it is just to skip back through the images and watch the development. My favourite threads to create and look at from other forum members.
