Toona sinensis Flamingo

Toona sinensis Flamingo, also known as Chinese Cedar, is a spectacular deciduous tree that starts the spring with a flush of vivid pink foliage which softens to a pale salmon colour and then green by early summer. Hardy down to about -10c, it is suitable for most aspects of the UK. We grow this small garden tree as multi-stem specimens. 

The Chinese cedar Flamingo is a delightful tree suited for full sun exposure. It thrives in various growing conditions, including chalk, loam, and sand. In summer, it graces the garden with delicate white flowers, adding a touch of elegance. Requiring minimal pruning, this tree maintains its natural form effortlessly. With an ultimate height of 8–12 meters and a spread of 4–8 meters, 'Flamingo' is a versatile choice, perfect for both compact and spacious landscapes alike.

The wood is widely used in East Asia for burning to infuse its sweet scent around the house.

Suitable for most free draining soil, this tree is certainly a showstopper in the spring!
