Description

This tree grows in tropical and subtropical climates, although it can survive short periods of temperatures barely below freezing, it should be protected from freezing temperatures. A position in full sun to part sun is best. Water once the soil has dried out, this tree is very drought tolerant and does not like to be sitting in water all the time. The tree grows up to 12′ tall but when grown in the ground can get a little bit taller. Hummingbirds pollinate this tree. 

These are grafted at our nursery.
