Its about 1 metre tall at the moment. According to info that I have on it, I can expect it to reach 5 metres tall with a crown width of 3 metres. I'm still waiting for my Summer Beauty to flower -- big buds, no flowers out yet. Mine was planted in September, a week ahead of water restrictions, and is existing on natural rainlack. What tree would be a good complement? I have surrounded mine with shrubs that won't overtop it, with contrasting foliage and complementary flowers (for those that flower in summer). With the red, you could try Callistemon 'Little John' or perhaps a summer-flowering wattle to pick up the yellow centres. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Jeez; if only those Ancient Greek storytellers had known about the astonishing creature that is the *Usenet hydra*: you cut off one head, and *a stupider one* grows back..." -- MJ, cam.misc |
