Callistemon citrinus 'Crimson Bottlebrush' -EDIBLES-Seeds

The Crimson Bottlebrush may flower twice a year if well watered.

This native plant is easy to obtain and may be planted in any position or soil including really wet conditions or by the sea.  In some years the leaves are badly blemished by a tiny scale which causes a blistered appearance and some twisting. To control this, a spray of white oil and a sytemic insecticide can be applied. A repeat spray may be required in fourteen days.
