Apple Blossom Cassia - Cassia javanica
Few tropical trees flower as heavily as this one. Cassia javanica covers itself in pendulous trusses of pink flowers that age through to cream, usually across late spring and early summer, and often while the branches are still bare or half clothed. It is a genuine tropical to warm subtropical tree, so it belongs from the northern rivers of New South Wales upward rather than in Sydney or Melbourne gardens.
Why Apple Blossom Cassia
Flower Load: A mature tree in full bloom carries flower over almost the entire canopy, with the colour shifting from deep pink through to near white as the trusses age.
Canopy Shape: It develops a broad, vase shaped crown that spreads wider than it stands tall, giving useful dappled shade.
Growth Speed: Given warmth and water it puts on height quickly, reaching a usable size within five or six years.
Climate Limit: Frost is the hard boundary. Young trees are damaged by even light frost and the species will not persist in cold air drainage hollows.
Leaf Cycle: It drops some or all of its fine pinnate foliage in the dry season, which is what allows the flowers to show so clearly.
Ideal Applications
Lawn feature tree: Standing alone on turf, the spreading crown and flowering display carry a whole front garden.
Tropical street and park planting: Widely used in northern council plantings where the verge is wide enough for the spread.
Shade over an outdoor area: It filters harsh tropical sun, though expect flower and leaf litter beneath it in season.
Large resort and acreage gardens: The scale of the flowering makes sense at a distance across open ground.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): Not a hedging plant, group no closer than 8m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 10 to 12m
Best Planting Season: The start of the wet season in the tropics, November to January; spring in the subtropics
Soil & Drainage: Deep, free draining loam or sandy loam; it accepts coastal sands but will not tolerate waterlogging or heavy compacted clay
Establishment Care: Water deeply twice a week through the first two dry seasons, then weekly until the canopy closes. Stake young trees firmly against storm wind, because the timber is brittle and a snapped leader spoils the crown shape for good.
