The wind in Brisbane knocked the top out of one of our ornamental

Summer
Beauty') and I'm going to try and see if it can be repaired as the bark

phloem is intact for about half the stem diameter.

Any more ideas?

None -- but good luck! I have a Summer Beauty and I love it.

We've got the Summer Red as well, and there's a newer one thats got magenta
flowers ..... but at the moment I can't fit it into the garden .... unless I
want to give up my "reserved" space for the waratah I'm planning on
acquiring at some point in time
We did get a similar tree that is supposed to have orange flowers but its
not from the same bunch that do the Summer x series ... its never flowered
and is developing waaay beyond the 2 m specimen promised on the tag (and its
not comming off the graft). ...maybe I could sacrifice that one .......
Our Summer Red is flowering now (early), but it looks like we won't be
getting too many Summer Beauty flowers this year
