These are babies! : > ) Actually, I think they keep these trees trimmed.
Weeping bottle brush trees grow to 60+ feet/ 18+ meters tall here.

Thanks! : > )
You probably have Callistemon citrinus - Lemon Bottlebrush which usually only grows to 25 feet/ 7.6 meters tall.
I think Callistemon viminalis - Weeping bottlebrush is slightly less hardy than Callistemon citrinus - Lemon bottlebrush. If temps go below 22 degrees F. / -5.5 degrees C. expect damage to the tree...however, they grow so quickly...it'll recover.

not sure which ones mine are. seed from a customers garden. they do suffer in the winter but they soon pick back up...they have lovely red flowers..

They're usually very easy to tell apart. C. citrinus is stiffer, smaller and compact... C. viminalis has very long, very willowy branches.
