Re: Clerodendrum
Hi Reddoggy, I think they are an Aussie Native,with little white flowers in the spring time,apparently they have nice bark on them, but I don`t know if this information is a 100% correct, I am sure there are other members out there with a lot more knowledge than me, and you could do a search on it

Re: Clerodendrum

I re-pot mine every six months as they are big feeder and will be come pot bound very quickly.
The Clero are Very brittle,so be very careful then wiring.

Re: Clerodendrum
There are different types of clerodendrum, you should try to see what type of clerodendrum are available in your area, then ask questions specifically about that variety.
I dont know which species there are in Aus, but I got a Clerodendrum Smithianum aka light bulb clerodendrum.

Branches are very brittle, i've not attempted wiring on mine yet. Went by a prune and grow attempt so far.
