4 minutes ago, withdrawl clinic said:
i mean the 3 trunks on the very right close to the frame, 2/3 up, whiteish trunks at the bottom, top parts dark, where the bark was left still on.
it's a myth, that the bottom bark, contains more alkaloids.it just easier to harverest.
stripping top branches, will harm the tree less.
Ah, I see what you mean. I did notice that at the time, but it didn't occur to me that's what had happened there.

looks the trees in this pic got vandalised
The broken-off branch is a different species, it's blocking the view of where the slender curved branch continues into the earth.

Note phyllodes in lower left-hand corner of frame. This was the very first specimen I saw there.

First flowers ...

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).

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) ...
