Re: Callitris (Cypress Pine)
Definately worth bending the branches when young by the looks of yours!

Re: Callitris (Cypress Pine)
Hi all,
During Peter Adams recent visit he related a story from many years ago when he was first in Australia.
He got sick and spent a few days in bed with a Callitris just outside the window and he has liked them ever since.
When he was in Canberra he asked me to bring my Callitris to the club and so I thought I better get back onto it and get it back in show condition.
I jinned the lowest branch and did a few other tweaks as well.
The apex needs some more work and the whole tree needs a new smaller pot.
Lots to go but as it is growing quite well at the moment there may be changes over the next few months.
Anyhow picture as of today.

PS. There is another thread on Callitris here. viewtopic.php?f=73&t=2579&hilit=Callitris

Re: Callitris (Cypress Pine)
This thread has an earlier pic of peter H callitris, and I just saw I had already posted an update of my tree on this thread.
Oops.
