Well I have some unfinished business after killing off my last couple of Callistemon and most of my Aussies it was a bit disheartening but at least I know what not to pour on them now.
Anyway found one hiding in the back of a nursery yesterday and figured it was time to jump back in on one.
It was quite leggy but really only interested in the trunks anyway.
Going to need this to bud out though, it shouldn't be a problem. I probably left more than I needed to on it but lets just call them "options".
Next spring/summer as it is Autumn here now I will attack the roots, put it in a smaller grow pot and make some more decisions on what goes and what stays.
Clumpy Callistemon.

Re: Clumpy Callistemon.
Cheers guys, I had been eyeing this one for a while and thought they sold it or got rid of it when the new stock of Callistemon came in but they just hid it out back.
Yeah hopefully there will be some good back budding there, it has kind of a mallee scrub feel to it.particularly this bit ...
