Only seen a very small bush of this, in my mums garden in Devon! But I think the 'flowers' are much smaller on hers?

Bernieh:

Don't we know. Callistemon viminalis, which this is, can grow to 65ft (20m) or taller here in San Diego. It's a super messy tree.

My neighbor has a 30ft (10m) tall Callistemon citrinus which drops red stamens all over my back yard! It drives me nuts!!!
