Picked these up for $5 ea Not sure of exact species

Love the first one, it has great potential!

Probably would have paid $15 for the first one so I consider the other 2 as a bonus!

That first tree amazing, so much potential. Where did you find this bargain?

Yep, those three must make you cheerful indeed. Good pickups Terry’. It will be fun to watch the respective progressions.

I love the first tree, that has great potential, very nice pick-ups there Terry.

A quick up date photo on the first tree. It has a lot of potential I think.
The others are growing ok, but are slower to develop new growth.

looks great! did you find out what it is?

Is the butcher knife in the background your security setup?

I like this view for the front better Terry, best $5 I’ve seen spent on a tree in a while.

Where from?!

Its still not been identified. It has beautiful mature bark. Maybe someone can help to identify it from these photos.
I’m a retired chef, so there are knives everywhere. This one is for wrangling unruly overgrown roots.
I got the tree from a local nursery in Fern Bay (near Newcastle). They had a few overgrown root bound natives on sale for $5 ea.

possibly maculata (spotted gum) by the looks of the leaves in the last photo? I'm definitely not an expert though, so most likely wrong as there are hundreds of possibilities that it could be......

Nice score, particularly no.1. They look Eucy to me - you can possibly try the EUCLID eucalyptus identification site for differential diagnosis. I like the purple tinge on the new shoots.

Most likely Angophoras as the leaves are opposite
