There is also a new nursery on a road I can't think of right now, but if you take 466A and make a right turn at the corner where the library, etc. are you'll find a new nursery before you get to 301 on the right. Seem to have a good amount of inventory.

Thanks!

Just picked up super 4 nice Sago's from a small farm in Leesburg, $55 in super condition 8 years old.

Do you remember the name of the nursery in Leesburg?

No No to weeping bottle brush tree. It looks nice while it's small and it grows like a weed, looks ugly and has to be trimmed often. You have to support it forever and move the supports often. I had one and took it down after only 4 years. Try the standard bottle brush tree although it also has to be trimmed but you won't have to support it very long and looks beautiful.

I've never seen a standard bottle brush tree. Does it start out like a bush, and then you trim it up till it has one or a few trunks and takes on a tree shape?

I originally wanted a weeping bottle brush tree but was advised against it by landscaper. He said they tend to snap, due to it being top heavy. He suggested a bottle brush tree. It has a stem just like the weeping ones but at the top, it grows upright. Does not need to be supported.

We have a bottle brush tree, one trunk probably 20' high. We do not trim it anymore. There are many of these in Tampa, gorgeous. We quit trimming when it became too high and grew too fast. Looks lovely now.
