Illawarra flame tree - Brachychiton
Illawarra flame trees are one of the most beautiful flowering trees in the world, so we had to put it top of the list! They can grow to 20m but generally only grow to about 10m in most gardens. The leaves are large and glossy and semi-deciduous in late winter just before flowering in Spring, when the tree loses all it's foliage and is just a mass of red flowers. This tree is mainly suited to larger gardens and in some case can take a number of years to develop good flowering. Illawarra flames require good water when yound but are drought tolerant once established. NSW,QLD,NT,WA. Well drained, organic soil is best.
