Perfume in a pot: exotic Dwarf Chanel No 5 Tree. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Perfume in a pot: exotic Dwarf Chanel No 5 Tree

Cananga fruticosa - Dwarf Ylang-Ylang Tree, Chanel No 5 Tree

✨ Perfume in a pot: exotic Dwarf Chanel No 5 Tree
  • ⭐️ The Chanel No. 5 tree in a pot? Yep.

    • Cananga fruticosa - Dwarf Ylang-Ylang Tree, is the compact cousin of the famous perfume tree. It has the same elegant, drooping flowers that smell like the original Ylang-Ylang - the scent behind Chanel No. 5 - just in a smaller, easy-to-grow version.
  • ⭐️ It stays nicely shaped like a little tree, blooms year-round in warm weather, and does great in a container. Just give it bright light, and if the air is humid, you'll get that dreamy fragrance in full force.
  • ⭐️ A perfect plant for anyone who wants their space to smell amazing - naturally.

Grows in neglect: tough plant for tough spots

Devils Backbone, Jacobs Ladder - Pedilanthus tithymaloides

💪 Grows in neglect: tough plant for tough spots
  • 🌿If you've got a dry, rough patch where nothing wants to grow, try Devil's Backbone, or Jacobs Ladder - Pedilanthus tithymaloides.
  • 🌿This plant is seriously tough. It handles heat, drought, poor soil - no complaints.
  • 🌿Its zig-zag stems look like they were folded by hand, and the little pink flowers are a nice surprise.
  • 🌿Low maintenance, spreads well, and doesn’t mind being ignored.
  • 🌿Great as a groundcover, border filler, or just doing its thing in a forgotten corner.

Five best fruit trees to plant in Summer

James Coconuts and Bob introducing Five best fruit trees

🌳 Five best fruit trees to plant in Summer

☀️ Summer might be scorching, but it’s actually a great time to plant fruit trees that love the heat. If you've got sunshine and a little space, these five tropical picks will reward you with fresh, homegrown fruit - some you’ll never find in a store!

1. Mango - the King of all fruit, a must have in every garden. Fiberlress varieties only! You can't buy those in the store.

2. Avocado - a must have super-fruit in everyone's diet, grow your own!

3.🐲 Dragon fruit - heat tolerant easy plant with low water needs, sweet fruit-bearing cactus

4. 🍉 Guava - by far the most flavorful tropical fruit, great for Summer drinks

5. 🍐 Black Sapote - fast growing, heat- and flood-tolerant, fruit tastes like chocolate pudding
