So excited I got my Bottlebrush!

Excited for you! Now I need to find out if there are small varieties that can be kept in pots!

That is what I was thinking also...but don't know if I can even find them in northeast Ohio.

Saroj, JAM, what do you do with your bottlebrush trees? Do you nip branches off for the birds or do they play on it? Also, can it withstand being inside all the time, or does it have to be outside for maximum natural light?

We are lucky enough to have that many growing around us in the street that we don't need to one. They do tend to take over and grow really well. I don't think they're suitable for indoors due to the way they grow.
i usually scoop up the ends with bunches of the flower and then for branches I actually use the eucalyptus as they prefer to sit and chew on those as opposed to the bottlebrush. The lovies don't care they love both and will happily detect and destroy anything that is suspected to be flora or fauna.
