For once I agree with CarbonAI. VicFlora says:
"Leaves alternate, scale-like, triangular or lanceolate, c. 0.5 mm long, 2–5 mm long on new growth, spreading, apex obtuse or acute, persistent." So this new growth has these actual leaves rather than the scale like ones I am used to. B.

abread111 And it was grazed but it re-sprouts... someone has suggested that the grazing is by rabbits bending the > 1m tall wooded stemmed Exocarpos over to graze the tops off ....
