Video: Flame Tree flowering right now across Australia

Right about now the Flame Tree is going to make you see red but in a good way. How amazing is it that even the stems near the flowers are red. They tolerate a wide variety of soil types and climates from warm temperate to subtropical.

Monsterio Tree or fruit salad tree

This fruit tree has such lush large leaves.

The fruit salad tree looks like it belongs in a rainforest.

The fruit can be picked before the possums or bats would want it and allowed to ripen in your house where it will fill it with a sweet perfumed smell.

The outer green layered skin falls off of its own accord leaving the sweet white flesh which is eaten and enjoyed in tiny amounts because unlike a banana which can be eaten entirely when ready only a small portion of the monsterio can be eaten.

Yes the taste is a mixture of lots of fruits or a fruit salad.

Great plant to grow purely on its rainforest look but the tasty fruit is fantastic too.
