Callistemon Citrinus 'Splendens'

Help!!! My poor bottlebrush didn’t take the winter weather well! Any advice greatly appreciated!

It may just have been scorched by frost, I would put it somewhere out of the way and make sure you keep it watered and fed for a month or so. It won’t bring life back into the leaves that have gone brown but with a bit of luck there will be new growth from where the old leaves have died off. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you. Pretty sure my bottlebrush doesn’t like Northern Ireland winters!

There may be a way to scrape some of the bark and see if it's green underneath. As long as the stems are green underneath it's alive and will eventually recover.

Oh dear Laura. Hope it comes back. I’m in Northern Ireland too - Belfast. There don’t seem to be too many of us on GT?

So yeah it was totally dead. 😟 but I have bought 2 bottlebrushes of differing varieties to replace it. They are doing well so far. 🤞🏻

Starting to flower and looking much healthier!

Help! We had our bottlebrush overwintering in the garage and it's been brought out now but it doesn't look good! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would imagine a good tidy up, watering and feeding will make a difference Laura if it has been kept in a cool, dark place for months @laurataylor5 :)

Thank you. I'm new to the gardening stuff so I'm basically clueless! But I love bottlebrush so I want it to do well!

Fresh compost too and it'll be fine 😊
