Can anyone help?
We were given a Callistemon Citrinus Splendens last summer when our son Calum died aged 16. (As you can see, it was carefully chosen by the donor because of its name)
We live in north Lancashire., 1/2 mile from the shore of Morecambe Bay - think cockle tragedy and you are extremely close - but over a hill. It is planted in poor quality - stony, clay - with lots of peat added - soil. Full sun when available, very open to wind and frost.
Over the winter the leaves have dried to a silvery pale green colour but not dropped. Should I just leave it to see what happens? How long for? (the season AFTER this one coming?)
Any suggestions gratefully received!
