A while ago you asked for a progress report on the flowers of the little Bottlebrush, I said they were slow, but in the last week they have started to move. The large M, rhaphiophylla is a part of the one from here, which was split into 3 I have two and you have the smallest part. So as you can see with feeding and pruning keeping the thrip at bay they do grow well.

No never had too, but I cannot see why they would not, as I have approach grafted them. Approach grafting is when you cut into the living tree and then put a branch or twig into the area you want a new branch. This is not a strong as thread grafting.

Looking great Pup! Thanks for the update. Your raph looks super health too.
Can't help but think that the Callistemon could do with a better pot though
Regards,
Steven

OOH craig might not agree on the pot. It has more flowers open today .
Yea it is time to get out the hedge shears again. Looking after two collections things tend to get away a bit.
