Its dense canopy of glossy, dark green leaves provides excellent shade, while its distinctive orange-yellow seed capsules add vibrant colour interest in autumn and winter. This versatile tree is ideal for street planting, parks, and larger gardens where its non-invasive root system makes it a practical choice.
