WHOLESALE POINCIANA NURSERIES

Widely used in Queensland as a shade tree the Poinciana ( Delonix regia) has a wide spreading canopy and is covered in crimson red flowers during summer months.
In cultivation a height of around 8m can be expected, although often smaller. A crown of around 6m and a growth rate that is regarded as medium in good conditions.
