Erythrina × bidwillii, commonly known as Bidwill's Coral Tree or Dwarf Coral Tree, is a striking and colorful flowering tree known for its vibrant red or orange blossoms. This small to medium-sized tree is a hybrid species resulting from the crossbreeding of Erythrina herbacea and Erythrina crista-galli. Bidwill's Coral Tree features compound leaves with three leaflets and produces showy, tubular flowers arranged in clusters. Its eye-catching blooms make it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes, where it adds a splash of tropical charm and attracts pollinators like hummingbirds.
Cultivation:
Climate: Bidwill's Coral Tree thrives in subtropical to tropical climates with warm temperatures. It is sensitive to frost and best suited for regions with mild winters.
Sunlight: Plant your Erythrina × bidwillii in a location that receives full sun to light partial shade. It requires plenty of sunlight to bloom abundantly.
Soil: Provide well-draining, sandy or loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0-7.0). Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Planting: Plant Bidwill's Coral Tree in the spring or early summer. Dig a hole that accommodates the root ball and position the tree at the same level it was growing in the nursery container. Space multiple trees at least 10-15 feet apart to allow for their mature size.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the tree's establishment period. Once established, the tree becomes somewhat drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or compost, around the base of the tree to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
Fertilization: Bidwill's Coral Tree can benefit from a balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in the spring. However, avoid over-fertilization, which can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowering.
Pruning: Prune your Erythrina × bidwillii as needed to maintain its shape and remove dead or overcrowded branches. Pruning is best done after flowering to avoid interfering with blooming.
Pest and Disease Control: This tree is generally resistant to most pests and diseases. However, you should monitor for potential issues and address them as needed.
Propagation: Propagate Bidwill's Coral Tree from seeds or hardwood cuttings. Seeds should be scarified or soaked in warm water before planting to enhance germination.
Erythrina × bidwillii, Bidwill's Coral Tree, is a captivating addition to gardens and landscapes, offering a burst of tropical color and a haven for pollinators. By providing the right growing conditions and care, you can enjoy the beauty of this vibrant flowering tree in your outdoor space.
