Frequently asked questions
Aglaia odorata tree style
How does the standard differ from the bush form?
It is the same species trained to a single stem and crown; trim the crown and remove trunk shoots regularly to keep the shape.
Are such tiny flowers normal?
Yes. The flowers are only about 2 mm across; the plant is grown mainly for its scent.
Will it fruit?
Aglaia odorata has male and female flowers on separate plants, so a single plant may not fruit; it is grown for its flowers and scent.
Will it arrive in flower?
Flowering depends on the batch and season; the listing does not guarantee flowers on arrival.
