Large, fast growing, majestic, evergreen tree that, in late spring bears a profusion of large, bright orange, toothbrush like flowers. Ideal as a shade, shelter or timber tree for parks and farms. The flowers attract nectar-feeding birds. Due to it’s large size at maturity, this tree should not be planted near buildings. Prefers a sunny site in moist, well drained soil. Tolerates pollution, light frost and short periods of drought.
