Wowza! What kind of tree is that?

by Leslie Crawford on July 6, 2010Thank you

A typical response the first time someone sees an Australian Flame Tree (Brachychiton acerifolius) in bloom. It’s an impressive thing. We’re starting to see more of them around town and that’s a good thing!

The tree in this picture is small, probably only a few years old, but they can grow to 40 feet tall and wide, and prefer full sun. Since their bloom cycles are about the same, wouldn’t this be spectacular planted near jacaranda trees?!
