Identifying what species of this Callistemon (?)

10 years ago

And I like to know how high it may become. Unfortunately it is not the flowering season. The given pictures might (might not) help to identify it.

I also wonder if its roots will continue to grow. The plant should be 30+ years old. It was about 5-6m 20 years ago. Its current height may reach 6.5 - 7 meters.

Your help is appreciated.

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.

This guy is in Ontario and it helps to have a few ideas already as it is in a species list format, but he knows his twigs and has tons of close-up photos. It's a winter tree ID guide, so no leaves. Here is a link that might be useful: Trees and Shrubs winter id guide

no I couldn't do pre emergent since that would've prevented new seeds from germinating. it doesn't spread out from one location like crabgrass. kinda reminds me of the grass I see at coastal towns. St. augustine?

The county extension agent can probably identify it if you email a picture. You will probably have to make a couple of calls to find the right person. Farm bureau may be able to help you identify that person. Most horses won’t eat things they aren’t supposed to if they are healthy and have plenty of grass, but obviously it is risky to take the chance a horse is the exception.

These are reclaimed wood beams if the house is new or original beams if the house is old. They have a ‘live’ or natural edge. If this is a look you want you need to find a store that sells reclaimed wood. I’m in the south east so it would be almost exclusively southern yellow pine, other regions of the country have different native woods.
