Some sort of native....

Post by Reece »

Hi everyone.

Foliage almost reminds me of young white spruce foliage but the buds are more spread out. Streaky bark....

Thanks in advance!

I've found Darwinias a bit temperamental. They seem to be prone to root problems more than many other species and tend to suddenly die.
I have not tried this one so don't let my poor growing skills put others off trying.

Haha thanks Shibui. If your growing skills are poor I'm in a lot of trouble then....
