Ceratopetalum Gummiferum New South Wales Christmas Bush

Ceratopetalum gummiferum, also known as the New South Wales Christmas Bush, is a charming Australian native tree known for its ornamental red sepals that surround small white flowers, resembling a festive display.

To grow successfully in Melbourne, plant in a sunny to partly shaded location with well-draining soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to establish a strong root system. New South Wales Christmas Bush prefers slightly acidic soil and benefits from mulching to retain moisture.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a bushy shape and promote new growth. This tree can reach up to 5 meters in height and spread, so ensure it has enough space to flourish.

With its striking floral display, Ceratopetalum gummiferum adds a festive and colorful touch to Melbourne gardens, particularly during the Christmas season.
