Weeping Bottlebrush


Scientific name: Callistemon viminalis
Common name: Weeping Bottlebrush
Range: pending
More information: pending

Here in Orange County and in the Los Angeles area, I've seen many members of the myrtle family in the form of medium-sized eucalyptus trees as well as large, woody bushes.

So it's worth noting that this is definitely not the only species of myrtle used in landscaping here in Orange County. (More on the other species, later...)

you've mis-identified the tree as a eucalyptus sideroxylon when in fact this is a callistemon viminalis, weeping bottle brush.

Yes, indeed. Thank you for the correction. I'll update the posting asap.
