Callistemon Slim™
Callistemon viminalis ‘CV01’ Slim™ PP24,444
A great hedge form of bottlebrush tree with an upright, columnar growth habit. Use as a small specimen tree in patio gardens or other tight spaces or use Slim to create a flower-filled hedge or screen in Zones 9-11. Slim produces tons of large red flower spikes in spring and early summer. It’s upright habit, abundance of large bottlebrush flowers, and good winter performance in milder climates distinguish Slim from others. Slim is a cross between ‘Captain Cook’ (the “original” dwarf C. viminalis) and an unnamed breeding line from Nuflora International Pty Ltd. Breeder: Graham Brown, as part of a breeding program sponsored by the University of Sydney Plant Breeding Institute and Nuflora.
