My brother has grown two coral trees from seed and Kirsty has volunteered to give them a good home (I already have three in my garden).
It really is an easy tree to propagate and is very rewarding in your garden. It has beautiful, bright red flowers each spring (which attract the sunbirds) and loses all its leaves in winter, which I particularly like.

That must be pretty unusual for Durban – losing the leaves in winter I mean?
yes it is, which I think is why I like it. it provides shade in summer and sunlight in winter when you need it.
happy birthday kirst! 🙂 i have another one if anyone is in need..
where can i get one of these trees?
hi path,
i might have one n the garden. where are you? in durban?
