Perfume Tree 10 Seeds Ylang-Ylang Cananga odorata

Ylang-Ylang is a tropical tree that bears very fragrant, yellow, long-petalled flowers that are the source of the perfume that is known as Chanel #5. In Tagalog (a Philippine language), ylang-ylang means “flower of flowers.” Cananga odorata is a tall tropical evergreen tree native to southern India, Malaysia, the Philippines and other islands (including Molucca, Comoros Islands, Réunion, and Zanzibar) but is now pantropical. It is fast-growing and blooms when very young, making it an excellent landscape tree in tropical and moist subtropical climates. In favorable conditions C. odorata can grow over 60 feet high on a narrow, smooth-barked trunk. The tree has a nice columnar shape. As it ages, the trunk becomes crooked and slightly contorted. The 5-8″ long, pointed oval leaves have wavy margins and are arranged alternately on the brittle, drooping branches. The flowers of C. odorata are borne in mass clusters along the elegant drooping branches. Each flower has six long, pointed petals
