Millingtonia Hortelsis

Millingtonia hortensis, commonly known as the “Tree of Heaven” or “Indian Cork Tree,” is a stunning, deciduous tree native to Southeast Asia. Known for its striking appearance, fragrant blooms, and fast-growing nature, it has become a popular ornamental tree in tropical and subtropical landscapes.

This fast-growing tree thrives in well-drained soil, though it can tolerate occasional waterlogging. It grows 1-2 meters annually under ideal conditions, quickly establishing itself in landscapes. The tree’s large, trumpet-shaped flowers emit a sweet, pleasant fragrance, particularly in the evening during the blooming season.

Millingtonia hortensis thrives in warm, tropical climates with full sun exposure. It prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy. This tree is drought-tolerant once established, but it benefits from regular watering during dry periods. It’s known for being hardy in urban environments, as it can handle air pollution and tough growing conditions.
