Before COVID-19 paused operations at CDTLI’s Bush Garden Nursery, our Saturday sessions buzzed with activity, drawing walkers, cyclists, and runners. One morning, a couple wandered in during our volunteers’ smoko, only to leave disappointed—we weren’t the coffee shop they’d hoped for!
On our final open Saturday, four runners stopped by, eager to explore native plants. One showed me a photo on their phone, keeping a careful 1.5-meter distance. It captured the round flower head of what they dubbed the “coronavirus tree”—and I could see why! Its spiky, orb-like bloom resembled a magnified coronavirus particle.
I identified it as the Leichhardt Tree, Nauclea orientalis, and pointed to one growing at the Nursery. For botanical buffs, its distinctive flower had given away the species. From now on, I’ll call Nauclea orientalis the “coronavirus tree.” I’m planting one in my garden as a living memory of the global pandemic.
