I'm fairly confident the small plant I originally received was a rooted cutting, not a seedling. I've uploaded some pics of the same plant, cloned, with characteristic red foliage. I'm not sure why the mother tree is so green this year -- it was overshadowed by some ferocious racehorse trees, and probably received a lot more rainfall this season than usual.

Good question. Foliage is usually a lot more red than this. New bark a deep red too. So I've always assumed it to be "red" variety.

Anybody's guess. I seem to have 3 x different hybrids from last batch. One with huge phyllodes and vigorous, one that grows miniature and very slow, one that looks a bit more like classic phleb. Different shaped phyllodes, I posted a pic. in the forums about a month ago. Previous year's batch looked classic phleb, but I accidentally killed 90% of them with fertiliser. They really take off after the first year.

Same - one year they turned out like yours, but the latest batch turned out mostly hybrids.

Where/when did you source the seed?

I've seen tiny flowers on mine, but never seed. Is that a native bee?

Successfully pollinated?

I'm keen to meet growers in the area (no longer there myself, but family is, and keen to make it back in future) ...

I didn't remove this snail, and now - more than 3 weeks later - this plant remains untouched (not even a nibble). But other plants weren't so lucky. (I found a small TBM pup that had been entirely hollowed out, with a circular tunnel right through the middle of it).
