I purchased a bottlebrush last year. Till then it has grown very well and is approx 3.5-4 feet in height.
Is there anything i can do to help it to flower or it takes its own time to flower.
Please advise.

Re: bottlebrush not flowring
it is in the ground.. never watered.. the only water it must be getting would be the ground like any other big tree...

This tree gets drastic top pruning every year, necessary because of over head electric wires.MOHAN SINGH wrote:beautiful.. thats almost a small tree.. but mine is still small.. not that thick trunk nor such bushiness.. will hoe and update the status...
