Weeping Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminalis) They pop up all over the place if not mowed or cut down.
I have a large Weeping Bottlebrush:
Weeping Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminalis) growing next to my deck. A couple of months ago I noticed a couple of little plants sprouting in with one of the container plants on the deck. The Bottlebrush tree hangs over that edge of the deck and seeds are always falling onto the deck and into containers with other plants so I kinda wonder if these could be seedlings of the Weeping Bottlebrush tree? I let them grow to see if I could identify them and the larger they get the more they have the appearance of the weeping bottlebrush but I'm just not real good at identifying trees so I thought I'd post a couple of pictures to see what y'all think?
