A hardy highly ornamental upright spreading tree with smooth bark and long grey-green pendulous branches that makes an ideal shade or specimen tree.
Juvenile leaves are slightly blue-green, ovate to cordate in shape, and up to 10 cm long. The large adult leaves are green and lanceolate in shape and up to 19 cm long.
Red flowers (rare in this species) in clusters of three occur from late winter to early summer which attracts nectar-eating birds and insects. Flowers especially attract bees which are an excellent source of honey.
The wood was used to make fighting sticks and shields by indigenous peoples.
Adaptable to a wide range of soils and climatic conditions. Drought tolerant and resistant to moderate frost.
Although seeds can be sown most of the year if you avoid the coldest and hottest months, spring is generally the best time to sow.
The grow mix should be well-draining, preferably with organic compost. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
A potting mix is not recommended.
Germination occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
