The flowers on that tree are beautiful! That looks like quite the workout to get that tree down. Do you trim the tree all the way down and then it comes back?

This is a very interesting tree, nothing like that here on the East Coast. It looked like a lot of work.

Good trim job! Is it the angle of your photo shots or is it a really tall tree?

I would guess the tree is about 20 feet tall.

I have a small bottle brush tree I planted summer-before-last to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. I haven't seen a bloom on it yet, but the plants
