16 years ago

I need help identifying a plant. Could it be a callistemon pinifolius? I donÂ´t know how to attach a photo to the message so follow this link instead to view the photo.

I dunno, sometimes I type out a response/message press the right butoons, come back the next day and it hasn't worked. My fault or this sometimes unstable site? Anyway, I agree with Ted except I thought that black scale was 'hard' scale, not that it makes any difference the remedy is the same. My reference (Encyclopedea of Aus Gardening) says that native honey-eater birds usually keep the scales under control. Do you have any of those about, pennyw? B.

Hi pennyw, I've had that on my natives, not sure what it is/ was but suspect it's 'Bag-shelter moth'. If it is, the small moth larvae spread out at night to feed on leaves, they tend to favour wattles but I don't think they're exclusive. I just cut back the branch, back to healthy bit - it looks terrible, I know - put it on the ground and stamp on it (with good boots on) and grind it into the ground. To be perfectly honest, I've never seen it return. B.

Identifying what species of this Callistemon (?)
Q

Hi jfchui Sorry, I haven't a clue about your Callistemon species. It might help to narrow it down if you could provide the flower colour. Not all Callistemons are red & if your flowers are white or green that might help put us on a shorter track to identifying it. In the meantime, if you're looking to fill a little time, you could go to the Australian Plant Image Index www.ambg.gov.au/photo/apii/genus & scroll down to Callistemon. You can then wade through all the Callistemon species & see which species best fits yours. Be warned, however, as some of the photos aren't all that good so it might be difficult to get a match. Let us know what you come up with.

Bottlebrush (Callistemon) in zone 6?
Q
Comments (0)
Has anyone had any success growing Callistemon in zone 6? Woodlander's Hardy is rated for zone 7, but I've seen comments about zone 7. Maybe those people weren't sure about their zone, or maybe the were lucky and had a good microclimate, or many mild winters. Possibly the gave it protection, but didn't mention that. Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone has had this plant succeed in zone 6.

You need a picture and you use to be able to post pictures through Photobucket, I did this with a picture of my flowering Banksia coccinea about 18 months ago, but now, try as I might I cant manage it, seems the've changed the procedure. If anybody knows the current method please let us all know. Why do they complicate things?
