Toona ciliata Australian Red Cedar

Toona ciliata Australian Red Cedar is a fast-growing, majestic tree with a spreading habit. Renowned for its dark red fragrant timber, Toona ciliata displays grey textured bark, russet red new foliage, and sprays of small, white aromatic flowers. In sheltered forested areas it will grow a straight trunk, but in more open surroundings it grows shorter and more spreading, creating a good summer shade tree. The seeds are light and have papery wings which help them to fly on the breeze once the seed capsules open in summer. Red Cedar is a perfect paddock tree due to its size and shade capabilities.
