Something different to the normal coral trees - say hello to the Red-hot-poker tree!
Hailing from central Zimbabwe, this is a true bushveld, African tree. Stunningly large leaves with very attractive (almost cork-like) bark, this tree makes a stunning addition to the garden. The red flowers are striking and definitely live up to the common name of the tree.
Excellent shade tree due to the lush and dense canopy it produces.
