Product Description

Yellow Flame Tree

Peltophorum Pterocarpum

Packet contents: 15 seeds

The Yellow Flame Tree, also known as Copper Rod Tree, is a striking tree with beautiful large fragrant, crinkly-petalled, bright yellow flowers, which form pods which are up to 10 cm long and 2 cm broad, and are red at first, ripening to dark brown/black. It is a deciduous tropical tree, so is frost tender – can be grown in large containers and protected in winter or in the ground where hard frost is not common.

Sowing: Growing Yellow Flame Tree from seed is relatively easy. Place the seeds in well-drained, fine compost, cover lightly with some compost or fine grit and keep moist at regular temperature of 15°C to 20°C. The seeds should germinate between 4 to 8 weeks, but sometimes may take longer. Once the first true leaves have developed, pot on the seedlings in larger containers.

Tip: To speed up the germination, prior to sowing, the seeds can be soaked for 24 hours or gently scarified so water can penetrate.
