Parrot Tree

$17.75 ($17.75-$24.75 choose a size)

The common name of Parrot Tree derives from the large numbers of parrots attracted to the tree during its flowering season. Flowers appear in spring, are numerous, deep red, and filled with nectar, although exact flowering times vary from tree to tree. The name, Drunken Parrot Tree derives from the fact that the individual flowers contain so much nectar that it has a tendency to ferment before the birds can eat it all, resulting in a mild narcotic effect on the birds. A medium to large, spreading tree, growing up to 20 metres, but more commonly from 5 to 10 metres depending on conditions.

Leichhardt Bean

It is too early to determine if this tiny plant will do what is intended, which is to be a shade tree in summer on the west side of the house and then be deciduous in winter to allow the sun in. the changing colour of the foliage is lovely.
