Hey, What would you do with this????

I'm planning to put into a larger grow pot, but i'm not sure if i should cut it back at all at this stage? (I want the new trunk line section to thicken as fast as possible..)
Cheers for thoughts and advice!

Gday NS!

What is it? Looks like Agonis flexulosa to me...

If you want the new leader to thicken rapidly, I would advise you to keep all that top growth when you pot-up. Also, if you can wire those lower (4?) branches so that they all receive maximum sunlight, you will not only increase the growth rate, but possibly find an new trunkline in there somewhere.

Thanks, and good luck!

Thanks mate!
It was collected so i don't know what it is but i always thought it was a type of paper bark, Melaleuca? . . .

Dont think so but i am not an expert on our natives, Callistimon?

Looks like a bottle brush to me

Here's what the bark looked like shortly after collection.. "i can peel the outer bark off in thin layers or in big chunks...."

Any help to identify this one would be great!

Cheers
