I don't wish to rain on your parade, but selling stock like this is touch and go for a purchaser.
Better for you to let them grow for another year so purchasers can be assured there are plenty of roots in the pot.

I agree with Brian. As seller you need to be aware that sometimes collected stumps put out new shoots using energy in the trunk but no roots. They look like they are growing well but with no roots they obviously die a few months later.
The majority of collected callistemon will grow roots and survive but a few will look good but die later.
I prefer to sell trees when I am sure they are properly re-established in pots with plenty of roots (6-1 months) but as long as the purchaser is well aware of the risk they should be able to weigh up price against the risk and quality of the stock.

I guess I'll hold on to them, just thought someone might want to start with a clean slate with a tree budding.....
