I am lucky enough to have a beautiful poinciana tree right outside my kitchen window in my neighbour’s yard. Firstly, I get to enjoy the magnificent Christmas decoration it becomes in December, and secondly, I get to completely ignore the mess it drops. But looking at it today made me want to share with you the other beautiful poinciana trees across Australia and New Zealand that are trending on social media… take a look at these and post your own.

Merry Christmas. You can enjoy some of the early blooming trees by visiting an earlier article we did a few weeks ago here…

In beautiful Wynnum, in Queensland

The best #poinciana I have seen this year. Photo taken today at Wynnum. Can anyone beat this photo? Tag @daleysfruit as I would love to see. Usually only part of the tree flowers.

We’re loving this table decoration… In fact I might ask my neighbour for a few sprigs!
