Luscious, Dense and Green: Xanthostemon chrysanthus

This showy small to medium tropical tree was flowering its head off on my recent trip to Brisbane and northern NSW. It was such a welcome sight after the damp, soggy Summer we have had, finally a species revelling in all the rain!

Xanthostemon chrysanthus

Xanthostemon chrysanthus is also known as ‘Golden Penda’ and comes in a large shrub form named ‘Expo Gold�� which gets to a height of around 4-5 metres high and a smaller shrub ‘Little Penda’ which grows from 2-4m high.

Xanthostemon chrysanthus

The right yellow flowers are attractive to all nectar feeding birds and insects and are followed by large fruits which are again eaten by parrots and fruit doves.

Golden Penda is a rainforest tree and in its natural habitat in northern Qld it can reach unto 40m high, however in an urban environment it will usually max out at around 8-10 metres. It can be pruned heavily and turned into a dense topiary or hedging plant and to generally promote flowering.

I spotted this tree everywhere in and around Brisbane, it is used as a shade and screening tree in residential gardens as seen above. A habitat tree in parklands and as a street tree all abut town.

Xanthostemon chrysanthus

Golden Penda enjoys a warm humid environment with a moist well drained soil, as it grows naturally in northern QLD it thrives in a rainforest environment. It can be grown as far south as Wollongong as long as it is protected from cold drying winds and given plenty of water during a dry period.

Xanthostemon chrysanthus

This is a wonderful feature tree and copes well with shade, as our seasons are becoming more moist and we are no longer getting the cool evenings which can usually be expected in the Autumn months, I think some of these tropical trees may become quite viable solutions for NSW gardens.

Xanthostemon chrysanthus

Think of Buckinghamia celsissima, Stenocarpus sinuatus and Alloxylon flammeum they all grow up north and cope quite well around Sydney. It may be time to start rethinking some of our trees considering the rapidly changing climate, just a thought 😉

Xanthostemon chrysanthus ‘Fairhill Gold’ – Golden Penda.Normally Xanthostemon is a spectacular golden flowering rainforest tree, but ‘Fairhill Gold’ is a dwarf form growing to 3- 4 metres tall and 1-2 metres wide, a good size for gardens and landscaping. Suits frost free areas, and while it can be grown in cooler temperate areas, flowering may be erratic and the plant will be less vigorous. The trusses of bright golden yellow flowers are borne in summer and autumn, and are good for nectar feeding wildlife. The foliage is attractive when the tree is not flowering, with the leaves being large and glossy on a well shaped plant. Best in a sunny spot in well drained and moist soils. It can be pruned to size if desired, and can be grown in large containers.

Portfolio: Norah Head Consult

A couple of years ago I made a trip to the central coast to Norah Head for a garden consult. I was intrigued by the description of the garden, which runs alongside a small patch of native bushland and curious to meet the client who has been looking after the restoration of the bushland but had become a bit unstuck about what to do with her own adjacent garden.

Sandstone logs have been installed to simplify a messy dark corner of the house which had problematic drainage.

We spent the day sketching out each area of her large garden in a fair amount of detail and I left her 7 hours later with lots of pieces of paper full of mud maps! Many people would have become overwhelmed at the task at hand but this special person was inspired and got stuck straight into it 😉

Today she sent me several images of her front garden which wraps around the side of the house and I am simply blown away at the wonderful progress she is making.

The garden bed running alongside the entrance driveway has been turned into a rockery with dense planting of Lomandra, Poa, Baeckea virgata, Eremophila ‘Nivea’ and Westringia ‘Smokey’.

A stone pathway leads to the shared gardena nd access to the bush behind.

The garden is full of texture and colour and it is evident how much attention and love has gone into it, it really is inspiring to see so much progress 👏 I can’t wait to see how she turns her hand to the other parts of her garden.
