Clerodendrum trichotomum Native this chestnut is very similarAlthough sensitive to cold, this tree, with the right position and care is simply magical. Amongst the soft, hairy leaves white, scented flowers appear in late summer. The red calyx behind the petals will remain and create the most dramatic effect as the berries mature to metallic blue. Suckers freely and therefore requires regular maintenance. H5
