Discover the unique biodiversity of Lomatia hirsuta, colloquially known as Radal. An evergreen tree originating from Argentina, Chile, and Peru, it is an impressive spectacle, reaching heights of up to 50 ft and 31 inches in diameter. Its light-grey bark features distinctive longitudinal fissures and its leaves are recognized for their alternate, ovate shape with a heart-shaped base. Gifted with adaptability, it thrives on both fertile and poor soils and varying degrees of humidity, flourishing near ravines. The wood of Radal is noted for its striking marks, akin to the Chilean Hazel, yet distinguished by a less refined appearance. The leaves carry a surprising use – they are often used to dye wood to a rich, brown color. Such adaptable properties have led to its transplantation in Spain and as far north as Scotland in the British Isles. Floral elements include the greenish-yellow hermaphrodite flowers covered in a rusty red hue while the fruit is a greyish-black follicle, almost woody, and oval-oblong shaped. So come, explore and connect with the untamed world of Lomatia hirsuta.
