I am trying to fit one of my stock plants into the pot. As you may know good and varied Australian native stock plants are few.
Pat has promised me a pot for one of my other natives so I hope he makes it before he goes on his extended break.

Do you have a picture of this gum in winter? I don't think i have heard of such a gum. Do you know what temperatures are required for the change in leaf colour? Is it eucalyptus, corymbia, angophora or other? I'm eagerly awaiting your response!
