what a stunner! thanks for sharing, really do like this one alot. always neat to see foliated ones from elsewhere in the world.

Nice tree indeed. Looks like a typical Melaleuca to me, nicely shaped.

Love and light

Darky,

Wondering however about the first branch, is it a bit thin?

G,day Khaimraj The first branch is actually 40mm where it leaves the trunk then divides into small branches, the result of nearly losing this tree to Heat stress. It has happened 4 times to this tree I have named it Houdini because of this.

I have a photo montage of this on AusBonsai.com.au site.
I am sorry Mods if this reference is wrong please delete, I am having trouble with my laptop, and the photo programme. So I cannot at the moment load pics.
Cheers Darky
