Re: Help
BB, have never used the MaM, but while I was in Darwin, myself, I grew quite a few Murraya with nothing but success. Up there they seem to be damn near bullet proof and took repotting throughout most of the year. I would suggest if you can put your hands on a good one, just grab it and go for it. If it is 'in the ground' take as much root as you can get and then give it a good root prune next time you repot it. As I said, they seem to be bullet proof up there and really respond well to prunning.
