Spectacular tall native shade tree from northern rainforests, with red wheel shaped flowers in late summer, and dark glossy lobed leaves year-round.


Take a trip to Maranoa Gardens in Victoria to see a good example of this beautiful rainforest native flourishing in a cooler climate.

We love firewheel tree for the interesting leaf shape, slender silhouette, unique flowers
