Common name: Bottlebrush tree
It requires a sunny, sheltered site free from wind. It will grow in most soils but is unsuitable in heavy clay or shallow chalky soils. The name derives from the Greek word Kalos (beautiful) and Stemon ( Stamen) which are the red elongated flower parts that create the unusual flowers. Citrinus refers to the lemon scented leaves. The tree will reach a height of 2-3 metres and is relatively easy to cultivate. It will benefit from feeding with a general fertilizer after flowering.
