Lucky Bean Tree / Common Coral Tree

This fast-growing, deciduous tree is similar to Erythrina caffra but slightly smaller, making it a great choice for gardens needing a showy, medium-sized tree.

Its brilliant red, nectar-rich flowers bloom in late winter, bringing life to the garden with birds and bees.

Erythrina lysistemon thrives in well-drained soil and warm conditions but is more frost-tolerant than Erythrina Caffra.

It handles coastal conditions well and can withstand moderate winds.

While not typically used for screening due to its open canopy, it makes a stunning ornamental tree and is well-suited for water-wise and indigenous landscapes.
