Ivory Curl Tree
Buckinghamia celsissima
Ivory curl trees tick all the boxes as they’re fast growing, easy to care for and have spectacular flowers! This common name perfectly describes their curled ivory coloured flowers, which appear from late summer through into autumn.The flowers are produced on the ends of branches and are sweet smelling and full of nectar, which attracts birds and bees alike. Perfect as a feature tree or mass planted for privacy, these lovely plants retain their compact shape when grown in full sun. Drought hardy once established, they suit many soil types.
