If you mean Callistemon (a native off new Zealand) I have some seed I could let you have of a couple of varieties

Is it a plant or a tree? I have what is known as bottle brush tree, narrow leaves, weeping habit, flowers are red, bunch or cone like with single rod with bunches of little bumps with red tassel. Don't know the latin name.
