Callistemon Pruning
Posted: September 9th, 2020, 10:12 am
I recently purchased a Callistemon and i've been researching care requirements.
Repotting is to occur late spring early summer. I slip potted the tree recently but did nothing to the roots, If i find a nice pot by late spring could i repot it then?
Keep in a water tray as they are thirsty.
Pruning in March. But i have spring shoots shooting right now if i cut these off would that mean i'm cutting off possible flowers?
If i prune now will i get new sprouts that will potentially flower or am i cutting off the potential flowers in favor of tree shape?
Kind regards,
Simon
