Hi guys, I need help identifying two trees and need to tap into your superior intellect (Have I sucked up enough yet?) As I have said I don't know my Melaleucas from my Don DeLeucas. It is not a species I have embraced yet. The first 2 photos should be of a Melaleuca Quinquinerva and the next 2, well....not sure. I have consulted Plantfile on CD but the resolution of the photos are poor in terms of matching them up with my own. As part of my horticulture course, I will need to propagate some Aust natives including the Don DeLeuca Oops!!! I mean Melaleuca.


Thanks guys

Guess what !? there could be a dozen different species. These come to mind, alternifolia, bracteata with all its hybrids, ericifolia, densispicata, diosmatifolia, linarifolia, nodosa,armillaris this one has a subsp called akineta, and wilsonii.
All these tree's have similar foliage, and all are endemic to the Eastern states. So you have some reserch to do EH!!.

Pup

don's better lookn than those trees.

Photo 3 looks like a M bracteata though it would help if you had a pic of the tree.
Photo 4 looks like M armillaris
If these are street trees and you know what street & suburb they grow in, the council would have a list.

The top two are Quinquenervia. The yellowish one could be Revolution Gold which is a common street tree in Sydney.
The others I don't recognise.

No.3 doesn't look like any Rev Gold of mine, looks more like Armillaris also I reckon

agree with Armillaris most likely

I am no expert on Melaleucas, but I'm voting form Armillaris too.
