Here are some that are very close to flowering so I thought to post them under flowering trees. All trees that have a large M are melaleucas

I have a meleluca something or other and it has wonderful flowers, they are pink and I think they call them pom poms cos they look like pom poms .

Keep 'em coming Pup - I had no idea some of these species even existed! Mind you, I'm from the Deep East...

In particular, could we have a photo of the M. ringens tree? Really interesting leaf shape, and barky texture all the way out to the leaves. Is that likely to be dodgy to grow in the East? Looks like a natural.

Thanks,

Gavin

The ringens is a shohin, and up until 15 years ago was on the endangered list so not sure. Get you a pic soon.

Wow pup you have some great ausie trees.
Let me know if you ever get to many

Great stuff Pup!

Looking forward to full bloom

Nice to have you back posting Pup. Lovely as always. The little Elms are powering along.

I was asked for a picture of the Melaleuca ringens, so here it is as I do try to oblige. Also included are some pictures of my Melaleuca elliptica coming into flower if yo blow the pictures up you will see some just starting to poke out of the branches. These flowers take on different forms as they develop.
The M,ringens is 150mm.

The M. ringens looks to have a very good tight structure, very good potential.

The M. elliptica (never heard of that one either... where have you people been hiding these things?) - looks to have smallish flowers too. Does it grow easily?

Thanks for posting, (now where can I find them over here...)

M, elliptica should be easy to get as they are one of the trees that are produced for the home garden. The flowers get up to the size of the bottle brush in length.
They are very nice.
