Stenocarpus sinuatus - Firewheel Tree Flowering

That's pretty.

That is really stunning.............

Dwyllis:

Thanks!

Milky:

Thanks! This tree becomes very large. It's not always so easy to photograph.

Love it, most unusual.

It's a pretty common tree; although it does have very unusual flowers.

They certainly are.....

Ooooh yes! Must have one!

This tree is slow. It can easily be maintained as a potted plant. In the ground it can become a gigantic tree.

If you want seeds, let me know. There's a lot of trees here which produce copious amounts of seed pods.

Check out these trees.

I think that we all want seeds, although they'll never grow as large as those ones!

Yes, in a pot it'll stay dwarfed. It's a big tree in the ground, but it takes many, many years.

So I've been reading................

It's a pretty darn hardy tree, also. I think it's as hardy as a macadamia nut tree.

Far from hardy enough for here then.

Yes, most likely not hardy outdoors, there.
