I have been inspired by a few members growing Australian natives (along with seeing collection online) so I decided to purchase some today at the Univ CA Santa Cruz Arboretum. The have a huge in ground plant collection and a nice selection for sale.
The plants are growing nicely in a mix of bark and red lava rock, so I think I will let them be for a while. But I will look at the roots once it stops raining to see if they need a larger pot.
Any growing or training tips are welcome.
Leptospermum macrocarpa 'Copper Sheen'
Stems are contorted and seem quite interesting.

Leptospermum scoparium 'Star Carpet'
Love the small leaves, think it might become a semi-cascade
