Slim Bottlebrush
Excellent plants, shipping, and service. The plants were beautiful. They were in perfect condition.
Gorgeous, healthy stunning plant
This plant is highly photogenic and extremely pretty! I bought two 2-gallon callistemon slims. I chose this cultivar because it is tall, upright, and narrow and can handle pruning to maintain width, making it perfect for my sunny side yard. It gets hot morning sun and evening shade here in south central USA, zone 9. It does snow, about an inch a year. I didn't plant it in the ground until after the last frost in late January. I heard these are hardy down to 20F and light frost, so I think it should be just fine next winter. I have had this in the ground for a month, and the flower buds already popped out. Fast Growing Trees really sent a quality cultivar, super healthy, and full of buds. These slim bottlebrush are so absolutely stunning, as the flowers look like a ball of true red yarn unfurling. This plant stops me in my tracks. I can't stop staring at it. I placed two of them outside, flanking a major window and genuinely feel sad when the sun goes down when I have to close the blinds for privacy at night. So I decided to buy two more to place outside in my backyard where I can keep the blinds up longer and stare at this plant under the moon and stars. It is a hummingbird and pollinator magnet. I have to limit myself to 4 of these before I go calliste-crazy, but I am hoping they will grow hardy through winter and allow me to remove my hummingbird feeder entirely.
Beautiful Bottlebrush
Shipping was on time and plant arrived very healthy. Planted it and it is thriving very well. Thank you.
