5 Seeds Pink Cedar Tree Acrocarpus fraxinifolius Tropical Ornamental Shade Tree

Acrocarpus fraxinifolius, commonly called Pink Cedar, is a fast-growing tropical flowering tree valued for its striking scarlet-red blooms and graceful fern-like foliage. Native to Southeast Asia, it develops a tall, straight trunk and a broad canopy, making it a standout ornamental and shade tree in warm climates.

Pink Cedar is well suited to tropical and subtropical landscapes, where it is often planted as a specimen tree, in avenue plantings, or for shade. The bipinnate leaves give a soft, feathery texture, and the vivid red flower spikes appear on mature trees. It performs best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil.
