Long description: Embothrium coccineum also known as Chilean Fire bush, is a semi-evergreen tree, which bears clusters of fiery red-orange scarlet flowers. This is probably the tree which bears the most impressive flower coloration within our Patagonia Plant line. The Chilean fire bush is a semi-hardy, semi-evergreen tree, which flowers during May-June. Flowers are expected after the fourth year of cultivation.

If you’ve ever been to Patagonia this is one of the plants, which most definitely had your attention. This is, without a doubt, a real “eye-catcher”. One of our favorites!
