Best Growing Environment: The MacArthur™ Bottlebrush thrives as a compact, evergreen shrub in warm, sunny landscapes with good air circulation, making it ideal for Mediterranean-style gardens, coastal areas, hedges, mass plantings, rock gardens, or container accents on patios and terraces. It performs best in well-drained soils of most types (including sandy or clay-loam mixes) and tolerates urban pollution, salt spray, and drought once established, while responding beautifully to chunky mulch that retains moisture and suppresses weeds. This cultivar, a controlled cross between the vigorous ‘Captain Cook’ and compact ‘Little John’ varieties, suits low-maintenance yards where it can attract bees, hummingbirds, and birds with its profuse red blooms without becoming invasive or overly large.

Botanical Name: Callistemon viminalis ‘LC01’ (also known as MacArthur™ with plant patent PP25,011 or PBR protection). It belongs to the Myrtaceae family and is a selected cultivar of the weeping bottlebrush species native to Australia.
ozbreed.com.au
-
Common Names: MacArthur™ Bottlebrush, Macarthur Bottlebrush, MacArthur Callistemon, or simply MacArthur red bottlebrush. It is often marketed for its improved flowering and tidy form compared to older bottlebrush varieties.

-
Average Height and Diameter: At maturity, this semi-dwarf shrub reaches about 5–7 feet tall (commonly 6 feet) with a spread or diameter of 4–6 feet (typically 5 feet), forming a dense, rounded, mounded habit that stays neat without excessive pruning. Its low canopy makes it suitable under power lines or in smaller spaces.
plants.franzwitte.com
-
Growth Rate: It grows at a medium rate overall with vigorous establishment once planted, quickly developing its bushy, tidy form and reaching mature size in several years under ideal conditions. Expect a lifespan of around 30 years with proper care; the compact genetics from its ‘Little John’ parent prevent it from becoming leggy while inheriting faster flowering vigor from ‘Captain Cook’.

-
Sun Requirements: Full sun to partial shade is ideal, with full sun producing the most intense and prolonged red bottlebrush blooms (mid-spring through late fall). It tolerates part shade but may flower slightly less prolifically in heavier shade.
ozbreed.com.au
-
Cold Hardiness: This cultivar tolerates light frost and moderate freezes better than many older bottlebrushes, making it reliably hardy in USDA Zone 8a and warmer (generally performing well in Zones 8–10 or 11 in mild-winter regions). Protect young plants from extreme cold snaps in marginal zones, but established specimens handle typical winter lows without issue.

-
Water Requirements: Provide regular watering (as needed) for the first 8–13 weeks after planting to help roots establish deeply. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant and adapts to average-to-moist conditions without drying out completely during peak heat; avoid overwatering in heavy soils to prevent root rot. It performs well with supplemental irrigation only during prolonged dry spells.

-
Detailed Fertilizing Guide: MacArthur™ Bottlebrush is low-maintenance and requires minimal fertilizing once established—often none at all in fertile soils. If growth seems slow or foliage pales, apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer (or a native/Australian-plant formula low in phosphorus to avoid toxicity common in Myrtaceae) in early spring. Use a granular product at the manufacturer’s recommended rate around the drip line, water it in thoroughly, and avoid high-nitrogen formulas that could promote leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Reapply only if needed in subsequent springs; over-fertilizing can reduce bloom quality and invite pests.

-
Planting Guide: Choose a site with full sun to part shade and prepare the soil by incorporating chunky mulch after planting to conserve moisture and moderate temperatures. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide, gently loosen circling roots, and position the plant at the same depth it was in the nursery pot. Backfill with native or amended soil (no heavy amendments needed due to its soil tolerance), water deeply to settle, and apply 2–3 inches of mulch keeping it away from the trunk. For hedges or screens, space plants 1–1.5 per linear meter (or 1–2 per square meter for massing). It establishes quickly and works equally well in-ground or in large containers (use a quality potting mix and water more frequently in pots). Prune lightly after flowering (1–3 times per year) to maintain shape or encourage density.
ozbreed.com.au
-
USDA Zone: Hardy in USDA Zone 8a (and warmer zones up to 10–11), where it remains evergreen and flowers reliably through the growing season. In Zone 8a, provide young plants with winter protection the first 1–2 years if extreme cold is forecast.

Best electric corkscrew - by far
I have tried others but this electric corkscrew outshines them all....so far. Really like it. I have been disappointed with some before though if you get a very dry cork that splinters.....but this one has a much smoother operation and just works better. Good price too.

It is light weight, rechargeable and it works hands-free.
This wine bottle opener is well designed and well constructed. It comes with a foil cutter and works hands-free when you push the button. It pulls up the cork - and then pushes it back out to discard the cork. It is rechargeable!! It is replacing an older opener that left behind cork fragments in the wine - and ate AA batteries quickly.

Best on the market!
I have tried three other brands of electric cork pullers. The fact that I now invested in a fourth probably telegraphs what this review is all about: this Vinabon device is great, hands down winner in the electric cork puller sweepstakes!
First, its motor is more powerful. Some winemakers are employing corks that fit pretty tightly, and the other brands I used would occasionally be unable to remove the cork. The screw would simply stop turning, without ay way of resuming. Advantage: the bottle.
Second, it is small, about half the size of the others, leaving a small footprint on the counter.
Third, it lasts much longer on a single charge. It doesn't sit in a cradle, because it doesn't need to. Assuming you open 10 to 20 bottles a week, you will be able to go two weeks without needing to plug the charging cable in, and a full charge does not take long. 4 vertical lights on the cylinder tell you how much of a charge remains.
Fourth, you simply press and release the start button and maintain gentle pressure on the bottle while the device descends into the cork and removes it. As soon as you remove the device from the bottle, it immediately begins to eject the cork. All with that one touch of the button!
Fifth, if you encounter a particularly tight cork, the device will stop, whereupon you push the button again and it continues. A couple of synthetic corks required me to restart 3 for 4 times, but it ultimately conquered them all!
That leaves only one issue: a failed cork that breaks during the removal process, because the screw cannot engage the cork enough to remove it without it breaking. To my knowledge, the only solutions to this, with any cork puller, are to resort to an Ah So, or if that cannot do it, just shove the cork down into the bottle, and drink the entire bottle in one evening.
Truth to tell, I have, myself, actually enjoyed that latter remedial step, especially with a larger format bottle on an evening when I am dining alone.
I cannot yet report on the ultimate problem that seems to vex all electric cork pullers I have owned: If the cork disintegrates within the cylinder during removal, how do you get the remains out? I threw my last cork puller away because I could not remove the cork detritus stuck in the cylinder, rendering the device useless thereafter.
If there is a solution to that, I would not be surprised to find that this unit already handles the problem.
If BMW were to ever make an electric cork puller, I expect it would be much like this one.
t costs almost twice as much as the others I have owned, but you get what you pay for. After all, you can buy a small fleet of Yugo's for the price of a BMW.
Bravo, Vinabon! I

Best Wine Opener ever
I hoped I made a wise choice to buy this wine opener and boy did I make the right choice. I have had 2 other electric openers and this is by far the best. You place it on the bottle and press the button once. You hold the bottle and opener and the opener does its job, you don't need to hold the button down. Once it pulls the cork turn it up side down and place it on the counter. It automatically stops and then automatically reverses and ejects the cork. You dinner guests will love watching it. Great opener!!!!!!
