I remember one in our backyard when I was growing up in L.A., it was
pretty big. Maybe not 20 feet; but I remember my mom way up on a ladder
trying to prune it back. Don't know which it was but my memory looks
like the pictures of Callistemon citrinus.

Which one is it, Theresa? Callistemon citrinus [the weeping one] or C.
rigidus [the upright one]? I don't know how big rigidus gets, but
citrinus grows up to be a fair-sized tree. Its roots can also create
problems for drain fields, sewer lines, and the like--not as bad as a
willow, but almost.
