Brachychiton Acerifolius Grafted

Description

The Illawarra Flame Tree, or Brachychiton Acerifolius, is a stunning deciduous tree native to Australia, celebrated for its breathtaking display of vibrant red flowers. This tree becomes a showstopper in the landscape when it sheds its leaves and bursts into a profusion of bell-shaped, flame-red flowers, typically in late spring to early summer. The brilliant red blooms cover the entire tree, creating a dramatic and unforgettable visual spectacle.

In addition to its spectacular flowers, Brachychiton Acerifolius features attractive, lobed leaves that resemble those of a maple tree, adding to its ornamental appeal. The tree can grow up to 30 to 40 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for larger gardens, parks, or as a standout specimen tree. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in warm, temperate to subtropical climates.

The Illawarra Flame Tree is also relatively low-maintenance, tolerant of drought once established, and resistant to pests and diseases. Its vivid flowers are known to attract birds and pollinators, adding life and color to your garden. Whether planted as a focal point in a garden or used in larger landscape designs, Brachychiton Acerifolius offers both beauty and drama, creating an unforgettable display during its blooming season.
