Botanical Information:
Family: Proteaceae
Genus: Stenocarpus
Species: sinuatus
Meaning of name:
Stenocarpus is from Greek: stenos, narrow + carpos, a fruit. A refernce to the seed capsule
sinuatus is from Latin: sinuare, to wind, curve, arch. A reference to the wavy leaf margins (edges)
The firewheel tree’s natural distribution is the rainforest regions of northern New South Wales up into tropical Queensland, but it adapts to a wide range of climates, even dry ones if enough water is available to it. It is a popular ornamental tree in Australia and around the world.
‘Firewheel’ refers to the spectacular wheel-like arrangement of the bright red flowers which appear in summer through to autumn.
Local pick-up is welcome — we’re in Gwynneville, near Wollongong University.
Pick-up is by mutual arrangement please, as we don’t have a shopfront.
Having said that, we are always here and more often than not can easily fit in with whichever day and time suits you best!
Feel free to suggest preferred pick-up time(s) in the comments box during checkout and we’ll reply as soon as we see the notification.
Especial Note Regarding Large Air-Pot® Orders
Depending on the order, we may suggest that large Air-Pot® orders are best sent directly to you from the warehouse.
Especial Note Regarding Jujube Trees
When posting out bare-rooted jujube trees, we routinely trim them to fit the box and keep postage costs to a minimum. These trees are typically knee-high when planted out, though some may be smaller.
This of course doesn’t apply for pick-ups, and in fact we will set aside the tallest trees specifically for this purpose. These trees can often be hip-high, and sometimes taller again.
Please note that this is not a guarantee, as heights of different cultivars can differ from year to year.
