Illawarra Flame Tree

Description

Meet our Aussie icon - a stunning flowering tree! This beautiful native sheds its leaves before bursting into bloom in late spring to summer, creating a show-stopping display of bell-shaped flowers that can cover the whole tree. In the wild, it can grow up to 40 metres tall, but in cultivation, it's usually much smaller, around 10-20 metres. The good news? Its seed is nutritious and yummy - just toast them for a tasty snack!
