Leptospermum laevigatum May 2012 - Copy.JPG
This tree was aquired as very young stock approx 20 yrs ago and had been grown on using larger and larger pots rather than in the ground and trained mostly using clip and grow methods.It is actually two trees planted extremely closely to each other at seedling stage (or germinated that way) and they have in effect fused togehter.Its age is now showing with the lovely rough bark and the muscling evident on the trunk. It is now planted in a Pat Kennedy pot.
