Description
The plant that I ship is about 1-2 feet tall. One of the most successful flowering tree introductions to southern Florida in the past 15 years has been Cassia bakeriana. Native to Thailand and Burma (Myanmar), the Pink Shower Tree blooms profusely in the spring, producing flowers that progress from pink to lighter pink to white. The flowers attract butterflies and bees. Newly-emerging leaves are velvety. This fast-growing species matures in the 20-30 ft. range, with a nearly equal spread. It is somewhat smaller than a longtime Florida favorite, Cassia javanica, the Apple Blossom Shower Tree. C. bakeriana is not only beautiful, but also undemanding. A sunny exposure and good drainage are its only significant requirements. After the tree becomes established on its site, it will exhibit some drought tolerance. The flexible branches of this species are capable of resisting breakup in heavy winds. It also appears not to be susceptible to the stem-end borers that affect some other Cassia species. Grow Zones: 4-9 Patios / 9-11 Outdoors Growth Rate: Moderate Mature Height: 25-30 ft. Mature Width: 20-25 ft. Light: Thrives in Full Sun Uses: Street Tree, Garden Flower Tree Characteristics: Pink Flowers Soil Conditions: Well Draining Organic Soil Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
