Gordonia Axillaris (Fried Egg Plant) is an attractive evergreen tree or large shrub known for its striking white flowers with golden-yellow centres, resembling a fried egg. The glossy, dark green leaves provide year-round appeal, turning bronze in cooler months. This slow-growing tree blooms prolifically from autumn to early winter, adding colour when many other plants are dormant.
Perfect for feature planting, screening, or as a small ornamental tree, Gordonia Axillaris (Fried Egg Plant) thrives in well-drained soil and a sunny to partially shaded position. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring occasional pruning to maintain shape. Its moderate drought tolerance and resistance to pests make it an excellent choice for Australian gardens.
