The beautifully named Little Kurrajong Tree is an Australian native & is found growing naturally from south-eastern Queensland to Bowen in scrub, dry rainforest and inside the edge of open hardwood forest, but always in situations with high light levels.
Form: It is a variable species, mostly an open shrub of about two metres tall, but may sometimes develop as a small tree on a single stem reaching to 4 metres.
Foliage: The foliage is one of its distinctive features with five lobed felty leaves reminiscent of the form of a human hand. Most forms of B. bidwillii drop their leaves immediately before flowering which enhances a spectacular floral display.
Flowering: Bell shaped flowers up to 30 mm long and 15 mm wide, vary from orange-red to salmon pink and are held in clusters. As the plants age, flower production increases, and after 8 years or so they may produce spectacular massed displays of hundreds of flowers almost covering the trunk, adding to the usual display clustered along twigs and branches.

At Coast Palms and Cycads you will receive your plant contained in one of four different ways.
Either in a
a PB**
a plant pot
wrapped in horticultural gladwrap – usually only used for field grown specimens
in an ezylift – a woven plastic bag with handles
**PB refers to pints – 1 Pint = 600ml, as a rough guide multiply the PB number by .6 to get the volume in litres of the bag.
The number on a PB bag signifies the volume which is measured in pints of soil.
Below are some examples of how the conversion rate works..
PB 12 210mm x 185mm equivalent to 10 litres of soil
PB 18 250mm x 210mm equivalent to 12 litres of soil
Note: The height of the plant does not always correlate with bag size – it varies depending on species and the length of time the plant has been potted into a particular bag.
Height Indication
The trees are always growing so the heights change with growth.
The ‘height indication’ description is just that … an indication.
It’s mainly to give you an idea of what height the tree will be when you receive it.
We measure the height from the base of the trunk to the top of the highest leaves. We do not do a diameter spread measurement of many plants we sell except for the odd succulent or cycad.
We are currently experiencing a lot of demand for our trees so there is always pressure to put them out for sale as soon as they are bedded in the bag, this can occasionally mean they will measure smaller than the height indication shown.
