Xanthostemon chrysanthus ‘Fairhill Gold’ is a compact Australian native tree prized for its spectacular clusters of golden-yellow flowers. Glossy dark-green leaves and bronze-red new growth create an attractive evergreen display, while the nectar-rich flowers attract birds, bees and butterflies throughout summer and autumn. This smaller-growing selection reaches approximately 3–4 metres tall, making it suitable for home gardens and compact landscapes.
Ideal as a feature tree, informal hedge or colourful privacy screen, ‘Fairhill Gold’ responds well to pruning and performs best in warm, frost-free conditions. Its manageable growth, non-invasive roots and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for customers wanting a striking native plant with reliable year-round foliage and outstanding seasonal colour.
