An attractive, fast-growing, small, rounded shrub growing 3-5 metres in height with narrow leaves similar to the leaves of Eucalyptus. Bright yellow flowers occur at the branch tips in winter-spring. Flower heads are long-lasting and used widely in florist arrangements, as are the cones of the female plant.
The species "eucalyptifolium" is named for its leaves, which resemble the genus Eucalyptus, also known as gum trees.
Leucadendrons are dioecious, separate male and female plants. Both the male and female flowers occur in dense heads at the branch tips with the male flowers the most attractive, only the female flower will produces cones and seed.
Prefers a well-drained soil in a sunny position. Tolerant of drought and mild frost when established.
The best time to sow is usually autumn or spring when the temperature range is between 16-22°C, and there is a difference of day and night temperatures of around 12°C.
If your summers are hot and dry and winter is moderate and wet, autumn is the best time to sow.
In colder climates with less harsh summers, it is usually better to sow in spring.
Pre-treatment of smoke is recommended:
Members of the Proteaceae are responsive to pre-treatment of smoke. Although germination will often occur without smoke treatment, it has proved to be beneficial in reducing the number of days to germination and increasing germination rates in many species of the Proteaceae family.
Smoke treatments are simple and can be undertaken by soaking the seed overnight or applying it to the surface after sowing; both provide good results. Smoke treatments are available by clicking here.
