Australian flame tree

The Australian Flame Tree prefers a full sun, warm, and sheltered location. It is very heat-tolerant and, once established, moderately drought-tolerant and slightly frost-tolerant.

The soil should be loose, deep, and very well-drained. A neutral to slightly alkaline pH value between approximately 6.0 and 7.5 is ideal. The plant copes well with dry periods; waterlogging should be avoided.

The plant grows as a fast-growing, deciduous to semi-evergreen tree and usually reaches 10 to 20 meters in height.

It is primarily valued for its striking, bright red flowers, which often appear on the bare tree.
