Coast Coral Tree

Erythrina caffra, commonly known as the Coast Coral Tree, is a large, flowering tree which is grown for its bright red flowers which make for a stunning display in winter.

The Coast Coral Tree is often grown as a specimen in a park or large garden. It is perfect for providing bright colour during winter.
