That first shot is priceless! Who was taking the shots for you??!! I didn't make it over, should go though, loads of good stock by the looks of it.

If you can make it do so as you might find something worthwhile

Yeah that is the one with verry little roots so heres hoping

Anyone have suggestions on what not to do to it? It will get morning sun only, lots of water and seasol every second day till it show signs of recovery
Anything else?

Ken

nice to see my post help someone get some material


good on yah ken

nice twin trunk HOPE THEY SURVIVE

cheers minh

Thanks Minh and I if they do I will name one after you
If i ever sell 'em, you will get first options ( not that I am planning to sell though).

This is what I think is so great about this site, Someone sees something worthwhile to check out, and although they may not be able to benefit themselves, they ensure that someone else might.

Look a these trees and Mitchells figs as examples

Thanks all
Ken

Great stuff KC Climbing through a fence to collect trees that have already been ripped out of the ground. Hey Seppos' that's the way ya do it Don't even have to clean up after
Wish I was there

LOL
Yeah we could have got some Bigger Stuff too

Currently cleaning and potting them up now

I might have to take that last comment back KC maybe the Seppos' are showing us how it is done

Wish I was there too

Just an update.
the weekend after I picked up these i repotted them all
Thought I might show the pics of potting them up into styro boxes.
None of these shown have any shoots asn yet ( did not relly expect any so soon), But the skinny Paperbark has got 2 new shoot growing down low on the trunk. I think they were already there when collected, but still a good sign.

Ken

Thats collecting made easier , pity you didn't get there before they cut loose .Council cleanup huh more like Bloody bonsai enviromental vandals . Anyone else score some trunks .Recycle , reuse , reep the rewards .Cheers Alpineart

Hi all

Just an update on these

Both Melaleucas have survived and have new shoots bursting forth
One of the Casuarinas I saw today have a new shoot on it too The twin trunk one with Nat in the photo has a little shoot next to one of the little twigs on it so looks like coming good

The Big Casa has no sign of life as yet, But I Am prepared to wait till well into spring for that one

Be at least next winter before any work done to them yet Yay !!! Did I say i was Happy

PS I Soaked them for 3 days in seasol bath, and then potted into my Diatomite/Zeolite mix and kept damp and out of direct sun. Dosed with Seasol weekly till now

Ken

Hey all
Update to my update, the Casuarina I thought was shooting, is still shooting, but is actually a Callistimon it seems. the new foliage on the only shoot is Callistimon or similar.
The Casuarina has also Started to shoot too Has got heaps of tiny little spikes all over it so that it looks like a little Porcupine

4 out of 4 ain't bad from a 3 day old bulldozed site

Ken

Hi Ken, how are these four collected trees coming along?
Any pics please?
How is the twin trunk...any carving done?
Cheers, Dario.
