FIREWHEEL TREE
Stenocarpus sinuatus


General Notes


Firewheel Tree is an unusual subtropical tree for temperate regions, and is rarely seen, but often sought after for its dark glossy green leaves and very unusual flowers, which may occur sporadically. Once established, it becomes rather durable. It can be used as an indoor plant. The leaves are attractive and the unusual flowers look like a pinwheel. Native to Australia.
