Tropical trees

[strandoo]

Just a few tropical trees I have grown from seed.

Brownea grandiceps

Dillenia alata or red beech. This is a true D.alata not D.suffruticosa which is some times sold as D. alata

Dillenia indica or elephant apple. Mt Warning Pete how are your trees going?

Sarraca spp. Unsure which one but it has yellow/orange flowers.

Still a few years from flowering but will be well worth the wait.

John, lovely choice of trees, mine is lookn really great thanks,and btw in the Tropics they get "HUGE", I couldnt believe the size os 2 in Cairns near the railwayline, way to Big for a suburban yard but your on acres so no problemo.. its the closest I can "sort of " resemble Chryrosophyllum imperiale, note I said "Sort of"   A Chryso that has beautifil bronze colour on the underleaf and is an eye catcher is C Cantito. Mine  took yrs to get established here but its finally up and mtrs high ( below  pic off net), put 1 or 3 in, you'll love em, the 1st C canito I saw was in Bali so as soon as I got back it didnt take long to find 1. Thanks for posting to keep PT new and Flowing     Pete

I've got a little one of those too.  I've got the purple fruited star apple (Chrysophyllum cainito).  I can't wait till it gets bigger!  The fruit is great too!

Yes, canito are not really that tropical.  They do fine here with no protection.  They are an easy tree to grow here.

You obviously have 1 of the cooler/ highland  varieties  of  Chryso cainito, all great looking , we can get down  to 3c  (night) here @ the gardens in winter  thats why it took quite a few to get really established, and when it got down to 3c and it was even a mtr high it would loose "all" its leaves.
