This is the star of the Hot bed. Grown as a tree not a shrub it now has a 30 cm trunk. It is semi-evergreen with silver grey leaves and huge yellow, pineapple shaped flower clusters that the bees adore and are scented of pineapple. It responds well to pruning and looks great all year. The perfect tree for a small garden because it does everything, is not too big and casts only light shade.
