Obtained seeds from the internet, cost 2 bux.

Currently approx 25cms, ruler is 8" or 20cms.

8 month old seedlings at the moment, but they have some gems hiding in their little leaves.

EDIT: uploaded attachments on comp

I can see them OK

Interesting to try and make something good in 12 months from 8 month old seed.

That's an 8 month old seed?

Man what do you feed them with?

Looks a nice starter

Good luck!

G'day Mo.

I was just outside having a good look at my Kunzea Baxteri and I'm afraid to say that it doesn't look like your tree.
Maybe time for a Hackimoto ID?

Hey Mo, they look like a Leptospermum but can't help with species. Not that it matters as much as the growth you have gotten in 8mths, if they keep it up for the entire comp I think you could have something really good. I am going to be watching this with interest, good luck

Hi all!

Thanks for the encouragement!! First comp hehe!

Now, Im not sure abt the species beyond what the seeds were labelled as - either Kunzea Ambigua or Baxteri. They were tiny little things and pretty much 100% germination rate. I had one seedling that was so healthy, it got ripped out of its pot at abt 4cm and i shoved it in the ground with roots u could count on one hand and now hes growing on also!! That was a month ago btw in the midst of our random heat spell.

I will do a bit of work on these seedlings and take some further pics tonight with some close ups.

Cheers guys,
Mo
