Embothrium coccineum CEH 2442

Unit price perWe have long sold the iconic Chilean fire tree but are delighted to finally offer some of wild origin, thanks Cody! The reasons for this are twofold, one we always prefer wild-origin material due to its usefulness to botany, science, and conservation but also because we have observed a fair bit of variation in the Embothrium we have seen in Chile. That same variation is rare or non-existent in cultivation so we hope to begin remedying that, with your help of course! This collection hails from near the town of Valdivia, which shares its name with the incredible Valdivian rainforest ecosystem, and is distinguished by being unusually narrow leaved.
Being in the Proteaceae, they don't enjoy phosphorous so be careful what you fertilize them with - it is the P in the NPK ratio to which they are allergic
