Xanthostemon Chrysanthus ‘Red Tops’ (Golden Penda) is a striking evergreen tree valued for its vibrant new red foliage that matures to glossy green, creating strong colour contrast throughout the year. In warmer months it produces large clusters of bright golden yellow flowers that stand out against the foliage and attract birds and pollinators.

Ideal as a feature tree, street planting or for creating shade in larger gardens, it performs best in warm climates and well drained soils. This variety is selected for its improved colour, reliable flowering and dense canopy, making it a practical choice for adding structure and seasonal interest. Customers choose it for its bold appearance, low maintenance needs and ability to provide both visual impact and functional shade in landscape designs.
