Report an issue with this species

Ceratopetalum is a genus of shrubs and trees native to eastern Australia, including species like the timber-producing coachwood and the New South Wales Christmas bush. It is valued by horticulturists for its showy late spring flowers, often cultivated as pruned shrubs or small trees, though it grows significantly larger in its native habitat. Its blooms attract bees, birds, and butterflies, providing good wildlife value.
