Tupidanthus calyptratus - Mallet Flower (25 Gallon)

About this item:

The Mallet Flower is a fast-growing tropical evergreen tree prized for its lush, glossy foliage and graceful, weeping appearance. Typically growing 15–20 feet tall and wide, it develops multiple trunks and a naturally rounded canopy, but can also be pruned to create an attractive single-trunk specimen.

Its large, bright-green, pinnately compound leaves arch gracefully downward, creating a soft, tropical look that adds beauty and dimension to the landscape. In spring and summer, clusters of green flower buds open into uniquely intricate, greenish blooms. Although subtle in appearance, the flowers offer interesting detail and may remain on the plant into fall and winter if left untrimmed.

An excellent choice for creating a lush, tropical atmosphere in residential and commercial landscapes, the Mallet Flower is best suited to mild, frost-free climates. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil with regular watering and performs best in full sun to partial shade.
