[ID] Can you please help

Post by Scott Martin »

I have recently dug this one up from a relative block on the peninsula in Melbourne. They have cleared their block about 12 months ago by simply chopping all the trees at about 25cm from the ground. So the trees have some really strong growth.

This was in the Seasol bath for 3 days but I need help with an identification.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks guys. It's got a great little twist in the trunk with decent taper.

Appreciate the advice.
