Erythrina Burttii Seedlings (Coral Tree) Highlights

  • Fast Growing Shade Tree: Erythrina species are known for their rapid growth, making them excellent choices for quickly establishing shade in gardens and landscapes. They can reach maturity within a few years.
  • Nitrogen-Fixing Legumes: As members of the Fabaceae family, Coral Trees are legumes that fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil. This enriches the soil, benefiting surrounding plants.
  • Drought Tolerant Once Established: Once mature, many Erythrina varieties exhibit good drought tolerance. They thrive in well-drained soils and prefer sunny locations.
  • Attractive Ornamental Flowers: Coral Trees are highly valued for their spectacular, often bright red or orange, flower displays. These blooms attract pollinators like birds and insects.
  • Deciduous Nature: These trees are deciduous, meaning they shed their leaves seasonally. This allows sunlight to penetrate during winter months before new growth appears in spring.
