Embothrium

Position: Dappled shade<br> Soil: Neutral to acid<br> Flowering Period: May - June<br> Hardiness: Hardy with shelter<br> Eventual Height: 3m in 10 years<br> Eventual Spread: 1.5m in 10 years<br> Nothing looks quite like the Chilean fire bush, ,a large bush to small tree, with its brilliant orange-scarlet flowers in May-June. A treasured plant, this is the hardiest form but suitable only for neutral to acid soil. I have planted several embothrium in different gardens and they have done well but positioning is important. They like shelter from the wind and do best in a sunny position. Make sure the soil does not dry out in the early stages particularly, but not waterlogged. It is worth the effort. I find it is important to start with a healthy plant. I have never lost an embothrium but they do have a reputation for being fickle plants and as such it is NOT possible to give a guarantee on them , they are scarce because they are difficult to propagate but definitely worth the effort.<br> WHEN PLANTING NO FEED OR COMPOST THAT HAS FEED IN IT. IN MY EXPERIENCE IT IS BEST TO DIG A HOLE AND PUT IT IN.<br> MAKING SURE IT DOES NOT DRY OUT IN SUMMER IS MORE IMPORTANT AND i AM SURE YOU WILL BE REWARDED WITH A BREATHTAKING TREE. .<br> JUST A FEW STRONG HEALTHY FLOWERING SIZE PLANTS IN 4 LTR POTS AVAILABLE THIS YEAR.
