Callistemon 'Little John' losing leaves

I have had a Little John in a pot for a year now, growing well, etc.

It has just started showing signs of flowering - very exciting.

I have just noticed that most of it's lower leaves have turned brown and fallen off and only the tips of the branches have green leaves left.

What has happened?

Yeah, that happens with 'Little John'. It's a bit prone to problems, I've tried a couple of them and I think one of it's main probs, is borers! I avoid it now when I visit nurseries.
