These guys are starting to stir :tu2: They've had over 100mm of rain on them over the past few days so hopefully that'll help kick everything along a bit.

All my Eucalypts have hit the ground running so hopefully this is a good sign for things to come. I've slip potted them into larger containers so they should continue to grow well. I probably won't update again until the trees are large enough that I will select 3 or 4 to focus on for the rest of the comp.

These guys are going OK. They got a bit wet under the auto waterers so I've repotted a few into a 50/50 mix of scoria and potting mix to try to improve the drainage. I might try to knock back the water a bit too.

These guys did NOT like getting transplanted and most just gave up the ghost. I've got a couple left though and one that I've planted in my front yard. Will see what transpires over the next 6 months or so, these might be too much of a pain.
