As a landscape tree it is fast, open and layered, with horizontal branching and long glossy leaves that give a light, dappled shade. It is strictly a warm climate plant, best in the tropics and the frost free subtropics, and it wants shelter because the wood is brittle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Ylang Ylang\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvening Perfume\u003c\/strong\u003e: The scent is strongest at night and in humid weather, which makes placement near outdoor living areas deliberate rather than incidental.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e: In warm frost free districts it flowers over much of the year rather than in a single short burst.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCanopy Character\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal tiered branching and pendulous foliage give an open, layered, distinctly tropical outline.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed\u003c\/strong\u003e: One of the faster tropical shade trees, giving usable canopy within a few seasons.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrittle Wood\u003c\/strong\u003e: Branches snap in strong wind, so it needs a sheltered position and should not overhang a driveway or roof.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumed Courtyard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sited near bedroom windows or a deck where the evening scent is the whole point.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical Shade Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast light shade over a lawn or seating area in the wet tropics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRainforest Style Planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sits well in a mixed layered planting with gingers, heliconias and palms beneath.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheltered Large Garden\u003c\/strong\u003e: A canopy tree for a warm block with room and protection from cyclonic wind.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e Too open for screening.
