The Native Frangipani originates from New South Wales and Queensland rainforests. It can grow up to 15m in height and has a distinctive upright, pyramidal shape when young. During spring it produces very fragrant tubular yellow flowers. Slow to establish, this tree is best in warmer climates with some summer rainfall. It gives off a distinctive beautiful evening fragrance.
