Fried Egg Tree

Gordonia axillaris, or the Fried Egg Plant, is a hardy, quick-growing shrub or small tree with glossy oval leaves.

Striking single, pure white, fragrant flowers with slightly ruffled petals and golden yellow stamens appear in autumn and winter.

It makes a naturally attractive dome shape without the need for pruning.

Plant in a sunny or shaded position in the garden in well drained soil with reliable rainfall or irigation.

Mulch well.

Easily maintained; give it a little clip after flowering to maintain bushiness or shape if needed.

Feed in spring with azalea & camellia food.
