 Fremontodendron 'San Gabriel', Flannel Bush

This fast growing bush grows up to twenty tall and eight feet wide.  The leaves have a leathery and fuzzy texture reminiscent of flannel, and the yellow and orange flowers are large and showy.  It has large orange-yellow cup-shaped flowers for a long period in spring.  This plant produces a pollen that can produce an allergic reaction.

You can prune this plant as needed.  You shouldn’t cut into old wood, prune hard, or make large pruning cuts.  The foliage and young stems have brown hairs that can be irritating and might cause a rash.
