Bottle Brush Tree

Question

Wildly fluctuating temperatures during this south coastal Texas winter are taking their toll on my large Bottle Brush. There has not been overmuch rain. Is there something I can do to help it weather the see-saw weather?

Answer 1

Although it may look rough now, when you prune it up come early spring then it will come back just fine. If you are really concerned about the cold, you can cover them with burlap on the colder nights.
