*Trees & bushes*

So far we've put in 2 trees & a Grevillea bush :) We plan on also getting a cherry tree, & sometime later down the track maybe a nectarine & a maple, along with some other natives that will hopefully attract some new species of birds, etc.
...
Baby lemon tree.
It'll be interesting to compare this to how it'll look in a few years time :)
... 
 A 'moonlight' grevillea we bought at the market on the weekend. It'll eventually grow pretty yellow-green flowers that attract nectar-feeding birds. Hopefully it does well in the spot we chose (there are a few large eucalyptus out front & they're very pushy trees ]: /)
...
We've also put an olive tree in out the back, & we have several varieties of trees & bushes at various stages in pots, ranging from saplings, to seeds, to cuttings. So far we have drumstick trees, elder bush, some wattles, a mystery tree from the city (we collected seeds & they're growing), avocado, nectarines & an acacia (possibly Acacia melanoxylon), & various others which we have not identified :p We're planning on planting them out as soon as they're strong enough, if they make it that far ': )
I'm going to try to collect & grow as many different cuttings, seeds, etc as I can to build up more stock for the future, & eventually have a go at grafting. (I'm so going to make a fruit salad tree one day :p)
...
Ja ne ; )
