Tree | Hymenosporum flavum Native Frangipani |
Description | Commonly known as the native Frangipani, although not related to the exotic form, this tree bears highly fragrant flower clusters that start out cream and turn to yellow. It is a rainforest tree native to Queensland and New South Wales and its large, glossy leaves give it a tropical look. Growing to 8 metres in ideal conditions, it is capable of providing a nice canopy and the flowers are great for attracting birds and native bees. |
Foliage | Evergreen |
Form | Oval |
Mature Size | 6-8 x 5-6m |
Uses | A fantastic feature tree for any garden. Can also be used in parks and gardens. Great planted at front entrances for its lovely scent. |
Position & Soil | Prefers a well-drained and nutritious soil but can tolerate a variety of soil types. Can be grown in a shade position but flowers best in a full sun position. We have found that in southern areas of Australia it performs best planted in the ground rather than in pots. |
