Brachychiton Ned's Red 200MM

Brachychiton populneus x acerifolius 'Ned's Red'

I am Brachychiton Ned's Red. My family originated from eastern Australia.

Habit Tree - Fast Growing
Plant family Malvaceae
I am a hand grafted Brachychiton 'Jerilderie Red' specially selected for my smaller form and stunning flowering, being completely covered with intense red flowers throughout spring and summer. Jerilderie Red is an amazing hybrid between the Illawarra Flame tree, Brachychiton acerfolious and the Karrajon, Brachychiton populenus. Grafting results reliable form and a smaller but fast growing tree hardy and adaptable to most soils and conditions. I have a smooth barked vertical trunk exposed for the lower third of the tree and a glossy deep green canopy above. Being particularly hardy with my consistent upright form and rarely dropping branches I am well suited to public spaces and make great street or feature tree. I am a guaranteed head turner when in bloom. My dense crown makes me a good screening option against a fence. I make a great shade tree particularly in yards where space is limited.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I completely covered with masses of showy red flowers in spring and summer
I am a small grafted slender tree with an elegant upright habit and a dense glossy green canopy
Birds are attracted to my blooms and my canopy creates important habitat
