I have a Robyn Gordon which looks a bit under nourished after winter.
What is the best to give it, as I know they are particular. It is about 2
years old, we live in Western Australia and wonder what the correct
watering should be thru summer as I know they dont like wet feet.
It's about 2 metres high and a bit straggly.

Give it a prune so that it looks more presentable (after a flower flush is
easiest). You can either give it some blood & bone or Osmocote For Natives
(or similar).

Wear gloves and a long-sleeved shirt when pruning -- you can become allergic
to the sap. I have seen pictures of the result: severe contact dermatitis.
Looks very nasty.
