Ive been eyeing this one off for a while now and last night was the time to get it outta the ground.

I dont know what it is exactly but the tree up and died 2 years ago and all these little ones popped up under it.

the next one to come up is the nice twin trunk.

Any ideas on what to do to these is muchly welcomed!!!

cheers Dave.

some others


under the mother tree



close up of foliage

They may be our native juniper? If they are they are notoriously hard to collect

im not so sure about a native juniper, it definately looks like some form of juniper though, it could also be a variation of the sorts of bribie island pines, they have several different scale like foliage similar to this.


jamie

We have a native juniper?

It's in the same family anyway
Callitris glauca

I love the progression.......of the beer! Cheers Mate!

Big family.......

13 out of 15 Callitris are native to Australia

Callitris is the Australian conifer. A member of the Cupressaceae family.
Collumellaris has common names of Murray Pine and Bribie Island Cypress.

Grant Bowie was discussing them just recently.
I have one growing as a cascade of the Western Australian one, C, preissii.
