Will callicarpa grow in Perth ?

Will callicarpa grow in Perth ?

He is not in Perth Craig he lives in South Geraldton

He lives on the coast about 45 klms from Perth, so my comment about getting lost is valid, plus he will need seasick tablets to cross the river.

I grow callicarpa here, this year they have been fantastic because of the cold wet summer but in warmer seasons they hold their leaves all winter so the berries are not really visible and thats the whole reason for growing them.

Craigw60....the nursery I've tried to get them through grows them so I'd imagine they do alright over here. Yes, the berries are the main attraction (and exactly why I want to give them a go) so I imagine only time will tell. Any chance of showing some of yours??
Strange though, I received a call today from said nursery and officially placed my order of a half a dozen (only tubestock), but it's a start.

Cheers!

Pup!...I will never jump on that wagon....and anyway, just how far exactly are you from the C.B.D??...bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black wouldn't you say?

8 klms as the crow flys

Cmon mate, if it was that close I'd be down at your place every weekend.....but seriously, if we were in Sydney, that sort of distance could take 3 hours by car. Great thing about living in this great State...no traffic.
By the way, didn't one of the greatest Eagles of all time come from Geraldton??

Cheers!
