Spathodea campanulata - African Tulip Tree, African Tulip

© All Rights Reserved - Black Diamond Images

Family : Bignoniaceae

I grew this tree from seed collected on a street in Miami on the Gold Coast, Queensland way back in the mid 1990's however it has struggled in a dry spot on our property ever since. It's done a lot better in the last two years due to a La Nina weather pattern which has brought regular rain to the Mid North Coast of NSW.
The tree was probably originally selected as a cultivar very suitable as a street tree due to its bright red flowers.
Unfortunately this species, an exotic, has potential to be very weedy on the North Coast of NSW and throughout Queensland and is no longer recommended for planting, despite its obviously colourful appearance.
