Haircut right back every year, the Firetails love nesting in it.


Do you see Toothbrush Grevillea's around much these days ?

Planted 2 a few years ago, bought at the local markets, 1 suddenly died last year and haven't been able to find another since.
These ones seem to be the yellow bush variety, out walking, I've spotted some red tree like variations around our town, Wangaratta Council has a red ground cover variety growing along the footpaths.

My most favourite Grevillea, considering the poor thing has been broken several times.

We occasionally get them in, but not often.

Thanks, been meaning to head over there one day.
Not sure how true this is but a local nursery told me, it's a plant, native nurseries haven't grown in 25 years or so.

We occasionally see it come through, but it needs to be on a stock list for us to be able to order it.

Grevillea hookeriana is what you are chasing.
