Not aware of anything for your specific needs but have sent you an e-mail with a couple of other links.
You might also contact ASGAP - their website was supposed to have been moved but this link still seems to work

Here is a link that might be useful: asgap

There is a book but it's probably now out of print -- published 1993 -- Wrigley & Fagg, Bottlebrushes Paperbarks and Tea trees: and all other plants in the Leptospermum alliance. Angus & Robertson/HarperCollins Sydney. It was completely comprehensive for both species and cultivars when published and quite lavishly illustrated. There have not been major changes in classification or a large increase in number of cultivars since then.

You should be able to find a used copy by searching with Bookfinder or Amazon.com

Don't have 'Woodlanders Red', but do grow 'Woodlanders Hardy', also a red flowering one. Has survived in near 0Â°F temperatures and remained evergreen. I moved it this past spring, to a full sun area to promote better flower production. Will see if that works! Don't grow Cordyline 'Red Star', but a number of gardeners in my Zone do. It is promoted as hardy to 5Â°F and to remain evergreen, if located in a sheltered, SW location. The location that I would like to plant a few, is in my "Arctic" microclimate zone and I'm sure they wouldn't survive there! The only suitable location that I have, is presently occupied with a large colony of Georgia Asters and those are maintained for a local hive of European Honeybees, which descend upon them in hordes during the fall! I couldn't think of disturbing those.

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?

Callistemon Problems

Our Little Johns had major problems with webbing caterpillars when they were small. Never saw the culprits, just lots of webs. One nursery barely glanced at the branch we took in for id, just tried to sell us something. The other nursery had a look and said we could sell you something but it wouldn't be very effective and you're better off just removing the webbing by hand until the plant is more mature and then it won't be as vulnerable to those things any more. So I occasionally cleaned off the webs and pruned off dead branches and wondered if I should just replace the plants with something less troublesome. And then one day I realised the plants were growing pretty well. It does seem a problem that they grow out of without the need to upset the balance in your garden. (BTW, the use of carbaryl has been under review.)

Hi Alas I don't have an answer for you, I'm just interested to see if you get any response, as I have a couple of trees with similar black stuff, and I wonder if there is a point where they are beyond saving. ie does it restrict growth and yes does it spread throughout the garden? I pruned a callistemon last year quite harshly, or should I say ruthlessley, as I read they are quite hardy and it was neglected. The soot has not returned and the tree is looking gorgeous, so maybe you have done the right thing. Stabs in the dark though, I am absolutely guessing. good luck

Thanks for replying. The book by Wrigley isn't available on any of the worldwide book searches. But I did find a lot of info on ASGAP.
