Callitris 2 (Split From Taafe Demo Thread)

Any advice for collection or transplant time?
This is one species I am still learning about. Have never collected one. I believe Peter H has though. Maybe he can help.
Sorry to hijack I think we will have to shift Soltan. :roll: :) Pup

Hi Pup.
Dennis McDermott of School of Bonsai, Sydney at Ryde TAFE. knows quite a lot about Callitris. I think it's his favourite Aussie species. Like the Huon Pine, it has it's own natural deterrent against a lot of bugs (and a lovely fragrance, beautiful textured timber).

Penny do you think you persuade him, to put some thing together for us on the forum about them.
I am sure the other interested people would like that as would I. Pup

Sorry about the hijack :oops:

I haven't got a contact number, but JayC goes to the workshops there, maybe he could find out. I'll also ask our club's secretary as Dennis did a workshop and demo on Aussie natives last year. I posted photos here of one he did with the Central Coast club too.
