Brachychiton acerifolia
 
Commonly known as the Australian Flame Tree, is a stunning deciduous native tree celebrated for its vibrant beauty and versatility. During the warmer months from October to March, its glossy, bright green palmate leaves shed to reveal an impressive display of vivid red, bell-shaped flowers, making it a spectacular addition to any landscape.
 
This adaptable tree thrives in full sun and is suitable for a variety of climates, including coastal, tropical, and cooler regions. Its growth rate varies depending on the environment, with rapid growth in tropical areas and slower, more compact growth in cooler climates. While tolerant of a range of soil types and positions, Brachychiton acerifolia performs best when grown in moist soil and fed regularly with an organic fertilizer during the growing season.
