The exotic and tropical ylang ylang tree makes an unusual landscape accent with its long, drooping branches and extremely fragrant blossoms.
We had to cut one of ours down after a hurricane, to our neighbors regret-it spread a wonderful scent down the street :)
Young trees have a Christmas tree appeal with their outstretched branches.
Theyl begin blooming around 3 or 4 years old.
The flowers aren't especially showy, since they emerge pale green - almost the same color as the leaves.
As they mature, the blossoms turn chartreuse, and take on a darker yellow hue just before falling off.
This is a somewhat delicate tree. Because it grows so quickly, the wood isn't dense and the long branches can break easily in a outlets strong wind.
A ylang ylang tree is tropical by nature, so it's best to place it in an area where other trees create a windbreak.
Water regularly.
Fertilize 3 times per year.
Lots of light.
Keep pruned.
