The tree fuchsia (halleria lucida) has been appointed as one of the two rare trees of the year for 2009, by the Department of Water and Environmental Affairs.

This beautiful tree, with its lush, wide-spreading canopy has shiny, bright green leaves and is an indigenous evergreen tree.  Birds love to gather in this tree, so it will be ideal to plant in your garden, if you want to attract birds.  Insects also enjoy feasting on the flowers, which are very rich in nectar. 

It has elegantly drooping branches and normally has more than one stem.  Bright orange, red or yellow tube-shaped flowers – which grow on the stems and in clusters of leaves – bloom in summer and from early spring this decorative tree carries round black berries, which are clustered together.  The bark of the tree fuschia is a dull grey to brown in colour and has vertical grooves.

These trees occur naturally in coastal areas, near water and on stony mountains or hills.  The tree fuchsia can grow between 12 and 20 meters high in ideal conditions, and up to 5 meters in less favourable conditions, such as in exposed areas.  They require a lot of water.

Historically, the wood was used for tools, spear shafts and for the construction of wagon poles, as the wood is strong and hard.  Traditional medicinal uses included treatment of ear aches, by infusing the dried leaves in water.

Gabion plant cages are yet another range of exciting products, created by our sister company, Badec Bros Deco.

Our creative in-house décor company designs and manufactures trendy gabion plant cages from 30mm x 3mm angle iron, which is welded together to ensure a strong frame.  Then we weld strong, steel mesh onto the frame to create the shape of the plant cage. 

Once the hollow plant cage structure has been manufactured, we install it on site and plant it with a topiary plant, such as a brush cherry (syzigium paniculatum) or a creeper, such as a star jasmine.

We can powder coat your gabion plant cages, or we can finish them in a mild steel finish or a rusted finish.

Our powder coating is SABS approved.
