Combretum erythrophyllum is a very hardy, fast growing, deciduous, drought resistant, medium to large tree with dense foliage that has yellow to red autumn colours.
It bears inconspicuous, whitish puffball flowers from September to November, that are wonderfully fragrant. These are followed by attractive four-winged seeds. The flowers attract both birds and insects to the garden.
Its lovely shape, beautiful bark and its constantly changing foliage makes this stately tree a wonderful avenue tree or a single specimen shade tree.
Plant in sun or semi-shade.
