Thanks peter, what family are they from?
We thought it might have been a melaleuca alternifolia but obviously not sure hence why im here haha.

Hi Nicholaus,

Try looking up Baeckea ( Myrtaceae),

The experts are still making changes. I think it is now called Sannantha pluriflora. Small white flowers. I have one similar and other people have posted under Baeckea.

I did a google image search on the baeckea and I would probably say youve hit it on the head! Thanks for your help, any hints or tips on removing from the ground?

Thanks again.

Hi Nicholaus,

I bought mine as a stock tree so I not sure about digging( when potting from black pot to Bonsai pot I had no problems). Myself I would wait till the time of year when the flowering is finished and then dig it. Your climate is a lot different to mine and it may have a better chance of survival whenever it is removed.

There are members on this site with more experience with this species and hope they may give you better direction.

Regards,

Peter
