Melaleuca "Back from the Dead" - three year update

I've been very slack with updating my progress on my trees over the last few years, and especially since Covid arrived on the scene. For months I only did the bare minimum required to keep my trees alive, and though I've now been putting a lot of effort into bringing my trees back into shape, sadly I've still been neglecting my blog.

One big change I've made over the last year is that I've overcome my obsessive documenting of every bit of work I've done on my trees. My trees are benefitting because it means I'm working harder on them than I did in the days when I felt compelled to set up the camera to photograph everything from a trunk chop to a minor haircut. However it means that there are less photos that I'll be able to use in my blog. A computer crash also means that some of my earlier photos are trapped on a computer which I hope to get repaired one day.

I was horrified to see how long it is since I mentioned my "Back from the Dead" Melaleuca. It's changed a lot since I last wrote about it in April 2018.

This is how it looks today.

It was a long time since its previous chop as I waited for the leader to reach a suitable thickness. This is how long the leader was before its latest chop earlier this week.


It's come a long way since I nearly killed it almost four years ago.

Now I'll wait and see what grows lower down. If a suitable leader develops I may till shorten it further. Or perhaps I'll just keep its current quirky shape.

Progression photos, which will include future updates and hopefully photos to fill the three year gap, can be found here.

  1. Hej, jeg er NIRA SHALOM, jeg er herude for at sprede denne gode nyhed til hele verden om, hvordan jeg fik min tidligere kærlighed tilbage. Jeg var ved at blive skør, da min kærlighed forlod mig for en anden pige i sidste måned, men da jeg møder en ven, der introducerer mig til Baba Wale da Wiseman, den store budbringer, fortalte jeg mit problem til Baba Wale om, hvordan min ekskærlighed forlod mig og også hvordan jeg havde brug for at få et job i en meget stor virksomhed. Han sagde kun til mig, at jeg er kommet til det rigtige sted, hvor jeg vil få mit hjertes ønske uden nogen bivirkninger. Han fortalte mig, hvad jeg skulle gøre, efter det var gjort, i de næste 2 dage, ringede min kærlighed til mig i telefonen og sagde undskyld, at jeg levede mig før nu og også i den næste uge efter, at min kærlighed ringede til mig for at bønfalde. for tilgivelse blev jeg kaldt til samtale i min ønskede virksomhed, hvor jeg skulle arbejde som supervisor. Jeg er så glad og overvældet, at jeg er nødt til at fortælle hele verden, hvordan Baba Wale hjælper mig med at opfylde mit hjertes ønske. Baba Wale er specialist i alle slags magi og god magi.
