Corymbia ficifolia (Flowering Gum) is an Australian native tree grown for its bold clusters of summer flowers in shades of red, pink, orange or soft coral, depending on the variety. The flowers sit above broad, deep-green leaves and attract birds and pollinators when in bloom. Best suited to full sun, this tree performs well in gardens, parks and large landscape settings, and can also be grown as a feature tree in spacious backyards. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant and well suited to warm, coastal and temperate climates.
