I collected this little mel a while back & have slowly been tinkering with it. I got a new pot friday so took a decentish pic that i can use for a virt one day. Still a couple years to get the canopy sorted out how I want it so it can stay in this 'big' grow pot for now.

nice going Matt, do you know what Mel it is yet?

Wow Gr8 looking!
It kinds of looks like a bottlebrush

I think its Melaleuca nodosa but not 100% until it flowers.

Great little guy, I'll be watching with interest.

It looks like he got shortened with a very accurate snap/break, is this the case? Just wondering how you managed this, and if you used any specific techniques to get it in the right place and even etc.

I've got a couple that could use a similar reduction, so would be good to know.

Cheers

A great little starter Matt I will watch with interest to see if you can sort the branching out. It looks more like a 10 year project, but well worth the effort.

Correction, it is Melaleuca sieberi.. Number13, The chop is complements of Energy Australia slashers I dont plan on doing any carving other than remove some of the soft rotted areas, nature can be her stylist.

Bodhi, They are strong growers if you give them what they need, lots of food water & sun

This is Melaleuca nodosa, another little project. Matt
