20 reactions | Banksia ericifolia, or Heath Banksia. This tree can reach about 7 metres and is adorned with large orange flower heads. It's a fast grower, attracting a variety of native bird species. It's happy in most soils and prefers sunny spots, though it can handle some light shade. Bees and butterflies love this banksia when it's in full bloom. | Ultimate Backyard - For Australian Gardeners | Facebook
