This ornamental tree adds an elegant touch to gardens, patios, or greenhouse collections, with a neat, dense canopy that offers light shade. Its attractive form and floral display make it a standout feature for plant enthusiasts seeking a graceful, blooming specimen.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe seeds are suitable for producing decorative shade or specimen trees in warm climates. Spanish Cherry can be grown in large containers or directly in the ground, where it thrives with minimal fuss once established. In cooler regions, it makes an excellent conservatory or greenhouse plant that can be moved outdoors during warm months. Its flowers and subtle, woody fruit add seasonal interest, while the evergreen foliage provides year-round structure.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Mimusops elengi\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Spanish Cherry\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Ornamental Tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant Habit: Evergreen Tree\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full Sun to Partial Shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-draining, fertile loam\u003cbr\u003e\nDays to Harvest: Not applicable (ornamental, flowers in 3-5 years from seed)\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 10-11 (tropical\/subtropical); grow as container plant in cooler zones\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 3-6 weeks with warm, moist conditions; soak seeds 24 hours before sowing\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in moist seed-starting mix; keep warm (75-85°F) and consistently moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: Plant at least 15 feet apart if growing in ground; use large container if kept potted\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Slow-growing; fragrant flowers at night; prune lightly to shape in early spring\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663093825672,"sku":"EXGA-242","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_6ebefd24-2178-4736-94e6-fccb2d067914.png?v=1791895654","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-mimusops-elengi-spanish-cherry-tree-ornamental-fragrant-flower","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
