Ovens Wattle: May 2022 update

Yeah, this one is just weird. It’s a shrub, but allegedly it can hit 8 meters tall. But it grows like… forked lightning? As in, lots of forks, and I suppose it’s pretty fast as well, so let’s stick with that simile.

Ovens Wattle: May 2022 update
There’s almost not much shape here… it just goes outwards it whatever direction.
After cutting the branch, it back buds like crazy. Sometimes. This is about 2 or 3 weeks after the cut.

This will need some heavy work on the branches, to get them forking close to the main trunk, and then selecting good branches. But the central trunk is still pretty thin, so it can wait.
