Emu Tree

The Emu Tree is a spectacular, large native shrub or small tree growing between 3 and 5 meters tall, featuring long, rigid, linear blue-green leaves. In winter and spring, it puts on a breathtaking seasonal show, completely smothering its upright branches in massive, dense cylinder spikes of bright, glowing reddish-pink flowers that drive local nectar-feeding birds into a frenzy. It is highly drought-hardy and requires an open position with good drainage[cite: 27].
