Native to Australia, bottlebrushes are today a common and popular tree grown in gardens worldwide. So named for the brush-like appearance of the flower stamens, bottlebrush trees, or Callistemon spp., are valued for their vibrant blooms, producing masses of crimson, pink or white flowers in the spring and summer months.
In general, bottlebrushes are relatively low-maintenance and easy to care for. However, as with any tree, there are some pests and problems to be aware of. Accurate identification will help you quickly resolve any bottlebrush problems in your yard.
