Cordia Sebastena

Cordia Sebastena, commonly known as the Geiger Tree, is a striking and vibrant tree appreciated for its bright orange-red flowers and glossy, dark green leaves. Native to the Caribbean and parts of Central America, this ornamental tree thrives in tropical and subtropical environments. Known for its adaptability, it is widely planted in coastal gardens and urban landscapes, where it adds color and beauty.

This tree flourishes in well-drained soil, preferring moderate watering and requiring minimal care once established. With its moderate growth rate, it can reach up to 6-10 meters (20-33 feet) tall, forming a spreading canopy. The Geiger Tree is not only admired for its spectacular flowers but also for its resilience, as it can tolerate saltwater and drought conditions, making it an ideal choice for coastal areas and dry landscapes.
