Help me identify this plant. It appears to be part of the bottlebrush family, but I am not allergic as I am to the others. Blooms are approx 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" L. Bush is size of small tree 8 - 10โ€™. Bush is very hardy & blooms sp, sum, fall. Very low on water needs, takes full sun to shade.

Blooms come from berries which you might be able to see in the pic.

@Acetaker - You sure can! I have no idea how they do as root cuttings, but Iโ€™ll start one & see. If it does well, Iโ€™ll send you some fresh cuttings & see how they do for you, so you can raise โ€˜em from scratch. Does that sound ok, or would you rather have them started? (Iโ€™m a novice at the mailing thing, so let me know how & what you want...single blooming sticks, buds, roots, etc.).

Girl..if u want to just give me some U dig up. I think doing that will be best with it being a tropical. Wrap the roots up real good in wet paper towel wrap with plastic wrap..and go from there. How does that sound?

@Acetaker - The problem with โ€œdigging upโ€ is that they are all tree sized bushes now. I donโ€™t know how to get you a root w/o making one off a cutting. Now, which way would you rather have them....rooted by me, or fresh cut twigs? Iโ€™ll still send them wrapped damply. And yes, you can have some of the other one. ๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿพ
