Lemon Bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus)
Lemon Bottlebrush is commonly
grown as a shrub, or as a single
trunk tree standard. It is a tough,
reliable
evergreen
species,
attractive by nature of its red
brush-like flower plumes. It is
especially
attractive
to
hummingbirds. It may require
regularly scheduled light toptrimming (but not necessarily
shearing) of vigorous top shoots
to maintain its height below 25'.
Has fragrant leaf.
