Weinmannia rutenbergii
Weinmannia rutenbergii
Family: Cunoniaceae
Cultivation
This species has a remarkable ability to adapt to the damage caused by fire and the disappearance of the forest - in healthy humid forests it can be a tree up to 20 metres tall but when the forest is destroyed by fire, or in environments where fire recurs frequently, it can persist for perhaps 50 - 100 years with small shoots no more than 60cm tall growing from a large underground root system. If the right conditions return, then it can once more grow back into a tree form.
