mI started this one from seed which I found on the lawn at the Melbourne Botanic Gardens more than thirty years ago.
The new new shoots in spring are completely white. Covered in a thick down. They have a pink tinge to the as well. As the leaves mature they slowly lose much of this down but as you can see the new leaves are still quite felty. I have not been able to identify it. For all know it could even be some kind of hybrid??
Any ideas?
