Terminalia myriocarpa
East Indian Almond
Jhalna
Growing as a small tree or shrub, this rare variety of seed will produce a plant with long pendulous light colored to pink flowers, that droop in clusters and accent light colored leaves among many stems. The evergreen plant is a fast grower and tolerates a shady environment. Naturally adapted to mountains, stream sides and valleys. Water often without letting it stand in soggy soil. Grows well as a container plant. Does not tolerate cold or frost. Note: Germination is naturally low for this species so extra seed will be added to yield better results.
