Albizia saman - Monkey Pod Rain Tree Seeds

Description

An outstanding large ornamental and shade tree for tropical regions with a large, spreading, dome-shaped crown to 30 m (100 ft.) across, if given ample room. Spaced more closely to produce tall, straight trunks, it can grow even higher, to 60 m in rare cases, and is a useful plantation tree that yields attractive brown and yellow wood for making furniture, veneer, or arts and crafts. Albizia saman has large, finely bipinnate, semi-deciduous leaves and pink, powderpuff-like flowers. Originally native to savannas in northern South America, it is best suited to the tropical garden
