That base flare!
Very nice indeed.
So here is an update for you all, every single one of my Callistemons in training have fert burn, bad. Turns out the seaweed "revitaliser" they sell here is about 300 times the strength of the type of product I am used to(seasol), needless to say they got dosed pretty bad. Got all my young Melaleucas too.
I'm a bit devastated but if they can be saved I'm more than happy to start over with them. I kind of expect them to bounce back naturally, eventually but wonder if cutting back hard would help speed things up.
Ahh sorry to hear that Jarrod ,it may help to sit them in a bucket of water( a couple of inches deep) to try and "dilute" it out.This will help if the roots aren't gone yet. The roots will love the extra water for a while..
