From the far north tip of Queensland, this lovely native brings you bright fluffy blossoms at the end of winter into early spring, when our gardens could use an injection of colour. Mature Fireball trees are small, slender, with fine foliage like a weeping bottlebrush; and the flowers are a deep rich red, dense and fluffy.
