Leopard Tree

Leopard Tree (Caesalpinia ferrea) is a exotic tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 18 m high and 15 m spread, with a vase canopy form. Its noted amenity value is interesting bark. Its recorded local performance is somewhat reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.

Caesalpinia ferrea belongs to the Caesalpinia genus within the Fabaceae family. It performs reliably across temperate, subtropical, urban zones in our experience. It is an Australian native we grow and specify regularly.
