What a beauty!
PSEUDOBOMBAX ELLIPTICUM
Shaving brush tree
Native to Mexico, the Shaving Brush is a large deciduous tree to about 30 feet suitable down to 20 degrees
Desired for it's unique brush-like flowers in late winter, the leaves are an attraction as well. Leaves are first bright red turning into a lush green as they mature.
With minimal water requirements, this is a excellent shade tree as well as a show stopper bloomer. Flowers have silky pink stamens topped with yellow pollen. A delight for hummingbirds. This tree is suitable for bonsai treatment as well.
