Sweetshade Tree

Hymenosporum flavum, commonly known as the Yellow Trumpet or Sweetshade Tree, is an evergreen tree native to eastern Australia. This tree is admired for its attractive, glossy dark green leaves and clusters of fragrant, trumpet-shaped yellow flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The flowers, which have a sweet, tropical scent, are often a striking contrast against the rich foliage, making it a popular ornamental choice in gardens and landscapes. Hymenosporum flavum can grow up to 30 feet in height and typically has a slender, upright form, making it suitable for urban gardens or larger landscapes. Its adaptability to various soil types, along with its tolerance for both sun and partial shade, makes it a versatile tree in subtropical and temperate climates. The tree also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding both beauty and ecological value to the environment.
