That tree is gorgeous - had never seen or heard of it before - such a beautiful round shape and stunning color. You Australians sure do enjoy some fabulous colors in nature.
Awesome beautiful trimmed and blooming Callistemon. The trim looks like our knotted Willows . .
I `ve one trimmed like this only not that big . it do have years to go ; http://365project.org/pyrrhula/365/2012-07-22

@mbemis Thanks! Yes it sure looks like how children draw trees :) @thresheg@gigiflower Thanks for great favs :) @flyrobin Definitely a lot of pruning :)
@karlow75@net Never seen one so round before either :)
@thistle Love your lollipop comparison :) @rustymonkey Suprisingly didn't see birds on it, but yes they love callistemons :) @hermann@denisedaly@darthkitty Thanks. Yes someone has spent many years getting this to such a wonderful ball :) @rosiekind@blueberry1222@anneofyork@skskunky@hellie Thanks for lovely comments :) @francoise@cejaanderson It is great to see so many different trees, birds etc from all over the world on this great 365 site :) @milaniet Thanks. i guess because we have so much sunshine that many plants like growing in Australia :) @hellie@lindacarol@ladymagpie@paulaw Thanks for all your great comments :) @pyrrhula Thanks. Had a look at your tree - so pleased to see one growing in another country :) @terryliv Yep! A true Aussie ripper.! Thanks :)
@janiskay@lealady@smileclicksnap@peterlgrave Thanks for lovely comments. it certainly was a round wonder of colour :) @kathiecb it's not how they normally grow! Lots of pruning over a few years I expect :) @girlie yes I'd love to have a try at this too :) @jaynspain I have to thank my sister for finding it and telling me! She's becoming very good at helping with my photo challenges :)
