Cockspur Coral Tree

Originating from Brazil, the eye-catching Cockspur Coral Tree will certainly make a statement with its spectacular large coral pea like flowers during the warmer months. A broadly spreading tree as it ages, it is also often pollarded to reduce its size and provide a striking bare framework of thick short branches in winter. Can be invasive in warmer areas.
How to grow

Full sun, adaptable to a range of soils, tolerating both wet or dry conditions. Readily self seeds. To prevent garden escapees, avoid planting near disturbed bushland or coastal reserves, regularly prune seed heads and dispose of garden waste responsibly.
