Perhaps next door's is being watered and fed more -they like water and fertiliser. Perhaps it is isn't exactly the same species/variety? For example, I grow C. subulatus because it is the hardiest of the red-flowered bottlebrushes, (though the yellow/green flowered C. viridiflorus is the hardiest of the lot).
