Golden penda (Xanthostemon chrysanthus) is a fabulous rainforest tree that thrives in sub-tropical and warm temperate conditions. It’s an Australian native that is related to eucalypts and bottlebrushes and produces masses of amazing yellow flowers in summer and autumn. There’s also a smaller growing variety called ‘Little Penda’  that only reaches 2-4 metres. 
Golden pendas are fast growers when grown in ideal conditions and make terrific screens or windbreaks. They also attract birds, bees and butterflies to your garden when in flower so you won’t be disappointed!
