Pink Flamingo Box Elder

Description

A small to medium deciduous tree with variegated leaves — bright green with a cream border and striking pink tips on new spring growth. The open, rounded canopy with slightly pendulous outer branches creates a light, airy form. Autumn colour before leaf drop.

Grows to around 8m. Plant in a sheltered position with well-drained soil. Needs protection from hot afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch. Works as a feature tree in Melbourne gardens.

Botanical name: Acer negundo ‘Flamingo’
