PLANT PROFILE

Brachychiton acerifolius, known as the Illawarra Flame Tree, is a stunning Australian native admired for its brilliant scarlet flowers that cover the tree in late spring to early summer. Just before flowering, it typically sheds most or all of its glossy green foliage, creating a striking contrast that makes the red blooms even more eye-catching.

This deciduous tree develops a broad crown and upright structure, reaching 15–25 metres tall. Its lush, lobed leaves provide shade through the warmer months, and its dramatic seasonal display makes it an excellent choice as a feature tree in larger gardens or native landscapes.

    Approx. 50 – 100 cm per year

    Hedging & Screening:Not used – grows large and wide

    Feature Tree: 6 m – 10 m – Needs ample space to showcase vibrant red blooms

    How to Plant Brachychiton acerifolius

    1. Location Selection: Choose an area with ample sunlight and good drainage.
    2. Soil Preparation: Though adaptable, prefers well-drained soil.
    3. Digging: Prepare a hole roughly twice the width of the root ball.
    4. Planting: Position the tree in the hole, fill with soil, and gently compact.
    5. Initial Watering: Ensure the soil stays moist, particularly right after planting.

    Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
