What is a Bottlebrush?
Bottlebrushes are members of the genus Callistemon and belong to the family Myrtaceae. They are closely related to paperbark melaleucas, which also have 'bottlebrush' shaped flower spikes. It is difficult to tell to which genus some species belong. Botanists are currently closely studying these plants to determine how they are best classified. There are 40 species currently called Callistemon.
Callistemon distribution mapWhere do they Occur?
Most Bottlebrushes occur in the east and south-east of Australia. Two species occur in the south-west of Western Australia and four species in New Caledonia. Bottlebrushes can be found growing from Australia's tropical north to the temperate south. They often grow in damp or wet conditions such as along creek beds or in areas which are prone to floods.

We have two BottleBrush Trees about 40' high in the back of our Florida vacation home.
I bet you enjoy your bush as much as we do our trees!

Very beautiful and sure wish they could survive our winters. Have been tempted to purchase one until I realized how large they can become ---if I could keep it fairly small I had toyed with the idea of bring it inside in the colder months!
