Melaleuca 4

G'day,
This is a Melaleuca(paperbark tree) which I collected about 2 years ago now.
I think it's starting to progress now,




Given a defoliation in Autumn and rewired



Coming back into leaf


A glimpse of it today in the afternoon sun


enjoy the evening/day ,regards Craig

Coming along nicely! I am yet to try my hand at one.

Sweet tree and nice progression in what is not very long at all. Look forward to watching it develop, keep posting please!

I appreciate that @Ryceman3 ,it's go some ways to go but yeah no point messin about right ,will do mate.thanks!

I checked out your blog. You have some really nice collected material that I am envious of! I have a soft spot for Aussie natives and have a few in the works but nothing like your Raphiophylas (very hard to find on the east coast) and I like your Baekeas too. Very cool.

Thanks @Ryceman3 ,I'm just starting to blog again so keep an eye out for new posts. The aged trunks and trees with natural features are what makes collecting Trees so worthwhile for Bonsai. As I do you need to constantly push yourself to be ontop of your game and not "settle" for what is, look for opportunity and rise to that level. Yes I love the characteristics of the Baekeas which are very difficult species to collect, however i'm starting to have success with them which is cool.
