I have kept this little guy in a training pot for 2 years . made the stone for it to grow back onto . then made the pot for it .

I couldn't take it any longer I had to put it in the pot
it has grown well , didn't need to root prune at all , it just went straight in to new pot.
I know it needs a hair cut , but that can wait .
all I need now is to find it a species name .
hope someone can help joann

Not much to go on Joann,
Any clues on what sort of flowers it has?
Any distinctive smell if you crush the leaves?
At first glance I'd guess some sort of Leptospermum but there are many other species with similar leaves and bark and I'm not sure about the weeping habit fitting with most Leptos either.
Whatever it is it looks quite attractive.

Have no idea what the tree is but that's a really nice combo. Looking forward to seeing this one day on display.
Josh.

Nice tree

Does the crushed foliage smell like lemon? Could be Lemon-scented Tea Tree.

was expecting it was a Leptospermum Juniperinum.
very uninteresting crushed leaf smell. Guess I will need to wait till flowering time,which I suspect will be in November.
The leaf is very small nowhere near as big as other Leptospermums I have .
another pick of bark attatched
thanks everyone , will come back with it at a later date
