Hummingbird Tree Seeds

Seen from a distance, the Hummingbird Tree's clusters of bright red flowers resemble a group of fluttering hummingbirds hovering around your tree. Hummingbird Trees can produce blooms in varying hues of red, white and pink, and this red-flowering variety will pack a unique and colorful look in your home or yard.
It is also known as the Vegetable Hummingbird Tree as it's leaves, flowers, and fruits can all be consumed. You cam enjoy them raw, or toss them into soups, stews, and stir fry dishes for extra nutritional value. It also has medicinal uses, beloved in Southeast Asia for teas and salves.
This is a somewhat tropical plant best suited for zones 9-11 outside, but it does very well inside in containers, and blooms well in pots and tubs. Will grow 40 feet tall in warm zones, but will limit it's size inside to the size container it is grown in.
It has fern-like fronds in a vibrant green color. Bright red flowers are followed by green fruit pods that grow up to 23 inches long, complementing the tree’s droopy canopy look. This beautiful tree will attract hummingbirds and pollinators, and its timber can even be used for woodworking. As a fully grown tree, it provides excellent shade for seating areas or low-growing plants at its base.
