Native large shrub or small tree, unmistakeable in full fluffy golden flower. Ideal for landscaping, growing in large pots when young, and wildlife or formal gardens.

Birds such as lorikeets love the nectar-rich blossom. The plants flower from a young age - you can see in the image gallery the flowerheads on our new plantings are so big they are weighing the branches down!

Anecdotally they may flower more heavily before a cyclone - but we haven't studied the data on this...

Description

Xanthostemon chrysanthus 'Fairhill Gold' - golden penda, expo tree

APPEARANCE : FNQ rainforest tree with golden yellow flower clusters variably in summer-autumn depending on location, which attract native birds and nectar feeding insects. Deep green evergreen foliage, flushed bronze when young.
USE IN : Native gardens, wildlife gardens; a feature tree; suited to informal hedging close to the home, and popular as a street tree, as the roots are non invasive. Responds well to clipping.
PLANTING : Plant in full sun in well drained soil for best flower display. Tolerates cooler climates but will develop more slowly. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks.
CARE : Prune after flowering to encourage heavier flowering and more dense growth habit. Apply a slow release native fertiliser following pruning. Tolerates dry conditions once established. Protect from frost.
HEIGHT & WIDTH : 3-4m x 2m.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
You can see an example in the image gallery.
