The scarlet color is even more spectacular.

Thanks! They are extremely common and popular trees because they need no water at all during summer.

How hardy if at all are they and can they be kept pruned to a relatively small size ?

Sorry to tell you this...but these trees are very tender to cold and prefer not to be grown in a pot.

Thanks! You probably see many of these trees since they are native to Western Australia. It's an extremely widely grown tree here too.
