Firewheel Tree
Stenocarpus Sinuatus
Description: One of Australia's most spectacular rainforest trees, handsome when not in flower and striking when in full bloom.
Flowers: Spectacular, bright red, whorled flowers which cover the canopy in summer.
Foliage: An erect, column-like crown of large, lobed, glossy green leaves, new growth tinged maroon.
Cultivation: Tolerates a wide range of soils and conditions including dry periods once established. For maximum growth, keep well watered and mulched during dry weather and fertilise with slow release fertiliser in spring. Protect from wind and frost when young.
Uses: Too large for the average home garden but a handsome shade or specimen tree for large gardens, parks and landscapes.
