Toona Ciliata (Australian Red Cedar)

Toona Ciliata (Australian Red Cedar) is a fast-growing, deciduous tree known for its tall, straight trunk and graceful, feathery foliage. The tree showcases bright green, fern-like leaves that turn golden before shedding in winter. In spring, it produces clusters of small, fragrant, creamy-white flowers, attracting bees and other pollinators. Its timber is highly valued for furniture-making due to its rich, red-coloured wood.

Thriving in a range of soil types, Toona Ciliata prefers a warm climate and benefits from deep, fertile, well-drained soils. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and is well-suited to large gardens, parks, and reforestation projects. Regular pruning in early years encourages a strong, straight trunk for timber production or ornamental use.
