My friend, Susan, has asked if you have any more information about the
seeds - where they are in relation to the flowers, when they are
'available'
etc!

They are on the stems of the bush, down the stems behind the flowers. They
are largish nuts about a cm in diameter and they will remain on the bush for
years.

Go to:
http://www.ibiblio.org/herbmed/pictu...s.php?show=765
and scroll down to 'callistemon citrinus' and look at the 2nd picture which
shows a branch with seed pods. Double click to enlarge. Cut off the part
of the branch with the nuts on it, trim the branch so just the nuts are left
(the pruning will do the bush a lot of good) and put the nuts in a paper bag
and then put them in a car on a hot day and the nuts will open and drop the
seeds which can then be sown.
