Click to see full-size image

5304 Couroupita guianensis - Cannonball Tree

Big tree > 20 ft Full sun Semi-shade Moderate water Pink flowers Red/crimson/vinous flowers Yellow/orange flowers Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Cannonball Tree. Rare tree with a bizarre fruit that can be seen only in tropical botanic gardens and a few larger private gardens. It is a very tall tree which sheds its large, elliptical leaves several times a year. The pinkish-red flowers grow directly from the trunk near the base of the crown and are strongly scented in the evening. Blooms year round. Flowers are followed by large, globular fruit, reddish-brown in color, which do indeed resemble cannonballs and remain on the tree for many months. On older trees there may be dozens of fruits and flower clusters at the same time.

2139 Cyathea cooperi - Australian tree fern

Small tree 10-20 ft Full sun Shade Semi-shade Keep soil moist Ornamental foliage Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Australian Tree fern - one of the most tropical looking plants. Adds "Hawaii" spirit to your garden. It puts on growth very quickly. The fronds typically will reach about 8' long on a mature specimen, but, as with most tree ferns, they will be significantly stunted if kept in a pot. It will grow well in dappled (but not deep) shade, but also does well in some sun, even in hot climates, as long as the moisture supply is adequate. It also does relatively well in exposed, windy situations.

It produces an impressive display of scarlet red flowers en-masse, which are a favorite with many different birds who enjoy the nectar. It likes full sun and well-drained soil and bloom best after a period of drought. Quite large cuttings root easily.

2684 Euphorbia punicea - Jamaican Poinsettia

Small tree 10-20 ft Full sun Moderate water Red/crimson/vinous flowers Irritating Seaside, salt tolerant plant

Absolutely gorgeous! A true Holiday plant, Jamaican Poinsettia one of our favorites. Rather slow growing, with a compact habit; flowers are spectacular (those are actually bright red bracts). Most profuse flowering is during Holiday season, then Spring, then sporadic blooms throughout the year. This pretty, evergreen, succulent small tree has high drought tolerance and can be treated like plumeria, however it is evergreen and much smaller size. Perfect specimen plant, great for a small sunny space in your garden, or container. We believe that everybody should have one!
