Yew Pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus) Evergreen Lemon Bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus) Lemon Bottlebrush is commonly grown as a shrub, or as a single trunk tree standard. It is a tough, reliable evergreen species, attractive by nature of its red brush-like flower plumes. It is especially attractive to hummingbirds.
