Harpullia pendula (Tulipwood)

Harpullia pendula (Tulipwood) is a highly ornamental Australian rainforest tree valued for its attractive foliage, decorative fruits, and graceful weeping habit. 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.

Well-suited to subtropical and coastal regions, Tulipwood is relatively low-maintenance and demonstrates good resistance to drought once established. Its attractive appearance through multiple seasons, coupled with its wildlife-friendly fruits that attract birds, makes it an excellent feature tree for sustainable landscaping and native garden designs.
