Callistemon -Dig

Post by BonsaiPanda »

Hi everyone,
It was raining today on the NSW South Coast (what's new?) Went to a friend's property to do some maintenance work, but was very wet and windy. I decided I needed to dig out a dying Callistemon. It took all of 3 minutes to get it out, roots intact. It has some great movement all the way up the trunk and should be good for a few layers. Took a few pics to help visually. :tu: I planted it in the ground as it was a little large for any of my containers at this time.

Regards Panda

Hi Craig,
Yes I whimped and dug the small one as it was stormy and I shrink when I get wet, (I wish) :lol: :lol:
