Market price from $349.99 to $719.99

Cupaniopsis anacardioides (Standard) is a charismatic evergreen tree, more popularly known as the Carrotwood. Hailing from the exotic soils of Australia, this resilient tree stands as a testament to hardiness and adaptability. Capable of reaching towering heights between 30 and 50 feet, its voluminous growth is evident in its characteristic glossy, dark-green leaves that maintain their radiant shine all year round. The Carrotwood aptly showcases its name-sake's essence with its unique carrot-like inner bark, an exquisite spectacle that's difficult to ignore. Its aesthetic appeal is only heightened by the scattering of cream-colored flowers that gives way to striking clusters of fruits, flaunting hues from radiant yellow to fiery red. The Carrotwood thrives under a range of conditions, commendably tolerating full sun to heavy shade and adapting to an impressive range of soils. Its water usage is moderate, further adding to its low-maintenance appeal. However, while this tree is easy to care for and a magnificent addition to any landscape, be mindful of its robust nature, as it may exhibit aggressive spread, rendering it invasive in certain settings. With its enticing combination of visual allure and practical attributes, the Carrotwood represents a regal addition to any street-scape, shoreline vista, or residential garden.
