Dais cotinifolia (Tree Daphne)

(Tree Daphne or Pompom Tree) Referred to as the Pompom tree, this beauty is one of the best known and well loved trees of South Africa. Is often used as a street tree but is small enough to fit into most gardens. When in flower over summer it resembles a giant bunch of fairy floss due to its profuse covering of soft pink flower heads. Considered hardy, relatively drought and frost tolerant.
