Coastal Bearded Heath - Whats the Chances

Post by Ryan1979b »

Hey all,

I have come across a Coastal Bearded Heath (Leucopogon parviflorus. Family: EPACRIDACEAE) that is growing out the top of an old hollow tree stump, almost natural pot plant. It has a nice 40mm trunk about 150mm high then a lot of broom style branches growing to about 600mm high. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these types of natives & what is the likely transplant success rate. I know they grow in very harsh coastal areas, so they are very hardy but not sure how they go being relocated?

Any information would be excellent, I will post some images when I go back to either look or collect it. I'm sure I will be asking some styling tips to :D

Cheers all
