Shaving Brush Tree is famous for its very cool flowers which are shaped very much like a man's shaving brush, only much nicer

Native to Mexico, the Shaving Brush is a good sized deciduous tree to 30-35 feet.  It is suitable down to 18 degrees, so zones 9-10 are just fine

Flowers have silky rose-pink stamens topped with yellow pollen

Coveted for it's unique brush-like flowers in late winter (often February), the leaves are an attraction as well.  Leaves are first bright red turning a fine green as they mature

With minimal water requirements, this is a fine shade tree as well as a show stopper bloomer.  Especially easy for dry climates.  Water to establish then relax

This tree is suitable for bonsai treatment
