Corymbia cultivars are small rough barked trees with a broad dome, low crown and wonderful display of flowers during summer.
The flowers do not have any petals, it is the many coloured stamen that give the flowers their fluffy appearance. The flower colours include various shades of pink, red and orange.
Large urn shaped capsules follow the flowers, these make an attractive addition to a flower arrangement.
Grow in full sun. Will happily grow in coastal areas and once established will tolerate mild frosts and droughts.
These cultivars are more tolerant of humid conditions and have been successfully grown along East Coast of Australia. I have seen some beautiful specimens along the coast of Tasmania.
This a lovely garden tree, it doesn't grow too tall and the low crown and spreading canopy make it a lovely shade tree and offers intense colour closer to eye height.
It is also good at attracting birds.
