Brachychiton Discolor (Lacebark Tree) is a striking Australian native tree valued for its showy pink to red bell-shaped flowers and attractive broad, lobed foliage. It creates a beautiful feature in larger gardens, parks, streetscapes, and open landscapes, offering seasonal colour and a strong ornamental presence. Mature trees can develop distinctive lace-like bark, adding texture and interest even outside the flowering season.
This tree is a great choice for customers wanting a hardy, long-lived native shade or feature tree with excellent visual appeal. Its summer flowering display stands out beautifully against its green foliage, while its upright form makes it suitable for spacious garden designs. Best planted where it has room to mature, Brachychiton Discolor is especially suited to customers looking for a low-maintenance native tree with bold flowers, seasonal character, and strong landscape impact.
