Re: Collected Callistemon clump style
I have one with leaves like that, collected by Jarad, and bought by me when he needed to sell everything so he could move to Tasmania.
I've been told it's Callistemon viminalis, but I suspect the leaves are more like C. citrinus...

Re: Collected Callistemon clump style
Good on you for getting it to survive. I dug a couple of them a few months back and took all the care in the world to keep them moist on the way home etc. etc. Unfortunately they slowly died, I think. I haven't pulled them out of the grow box yet in the hope they may recover in spring but don't hold out much hope.

Re: Collected Callistemon clump style
Hi Raging Bull , when I collected this one it was a 12 trunk clump , over the years it has lost a few of those trunks , hopefully it will stay green and I noticed it has a wee flower beginning to swell .
Might just survive after all .
Cheers Alpine
