A beautiful evergreen tree with striking elongated flowers that attract birds and bees to your garden!

Ideally suited for a small garden in a sheltered spot, the tree will reach a height of about 5m tall. It doesn't like windy conditions or hot and dry weather, but rather prefers a more temperate climate that mimics the sheltered forest environment where it occurs naturally.

The lush green leaves and the red stalks and fruiting pods adds a pop of colour during the winter months.

If you're looking for something lush, indigenous and that won't get very big... then this is the tree for you.
