Embothrium Overview
A small genus with only 1 described evergreen or semi-evergreen tree species also known as Chilean firebush. Typically grown for their showy flowers, these are waxy, red and tubular, borne on unbranched stems in bright bunches. Occasionally white or yellow flowers are seen. Well suited to a woodland garden, this genus grows best in a sheltered location, but in warmer climates may be grown more in the open as a specimen tree.
