Important! Please note that Ylang Ylangs are very sensitive to cold. For locations where plants will be shipping thru or into temps below freezing a heat pack is essential. Not including a heat pack to cold locations means that you accept the risks. Also please note that Ylangs are not well suited to be house plants long term. We recommend beginning growers who do not have experience over wintering tropical plants or a space set up that can provide the needed environment wait until Spring to order.
Cananga odorata or Ylang Ylang Tree is a fast growing tropical tree native to many regions in Asia. The Ylang Ylang Tree reaches heights of 60ft in nature as it can grow up to 16ft per year, but in cultivation it should be pruned to remain 20-25ft in height. Because it grows so quickly this unusual tree is quite fragile and should be planted where other trees may shield it from high winds.
The Ylang Ylang Tree produces blooms with an intense fragrance that can be detected from 30ft away. These powerful flowers are rumored to be one of the key ingredients in a well known high end perfume. These blooms are appealing in their subtle green tones and long drooping conical shape.
This tree will thrive in full sun and requires moderate to heavy watering for quickest growth and heavy blooming. To keep branches looking fresh, pruning should be done during the Autumn and Winter seasons. This tree will spend 3-4 years maturing before it begins producing fruits and blooms.
This is a tropical tree that performs best outdoors in tropical climates. It does not adapt to easily to indoor conditions.
