Affirmative. Both Erythrina blakei [Blake's Coral Tree] & Erythrina crista-galli [Cockspur Coral Tree] are considered Dwarf Ornamental Trees. With regards, Neil Soares Dear Neil, Thanks for the info. Need some more clarification on this. There does not seem to be much info on the web on this. In couple of places, it is mentioned that it is a hybrid (Erythrina herbacea x crista-galli). I got the below from wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrina_%C3%97bidwillii): .......................................................................................... Can anyone throw more light on this and let me know if Erythrina blackei is indeed Erythrina x bidwillii?

I was under the assumption that its growth habit is similar to Erythrina crista-galli and does not grow very big (unlike Erythrina suberosa). Can anyone please confirm this?
