Opinion Coral Tree

The tree itself, apparently is a species, native to Asia or America. Supposed to be all shubby flowering plants adorned with three lobed leaves and scarlet spikes of beautiful papilionaceous flowers. They forgot to say they have thorns on the young branches as well. Any way, the one I have, grows to about seven meters tall. I grew it in a sub-temperate area from a sucker about 20years ago, planted it in the place I'm in now, a temperate zone. Every year I neglected it because the frost would kill the new growth. To my suprise the base of it was always growing. It's know, like a cluster of sea coral noduals 900mm x 900mm x 200mm high. This was covered and protected by grass. It looks great. If I'm lucky, this could turn out to something real good. I'll see if I can manage some photo's soon. What I wanted to ask, has anyone ever grown a Coral Tree and did they have any good results.
I have just dug it up, root and top pruned it and replanted it back in the ground.
By the way, I'm in Australia and the trees grow well near the sea coast.
