A striking, deciduous tree with a spreading canopy, Erythrina caffra is well-loved for its spectacular display of bright red-orange flowers in late winter to early spring, which attract birds and pollinators.
It thrives in coastal conditions, making it an excellent choice for Western Cape gardens, especially near the sea.
It is moderately wind-resistant but benefits from some protection in extreme conditions. While it can tolerate light frost, it is best suited to frost-free or mild climates.
Not ideal for screening due to its open branching structure, but it makes an excellent focal point or shade tree in large gardens.
