Gliricidia sepium is a plant of the moist tropics, where it is found at elevations up to 1,600 metres. It grows best in areas where annual daytime temperatures are within the range 15 - 30°c, but can tolerate 12 - 44°c. Mature plants can be killed by temperatures of -2°c or lower, but young growth is more sensitive and will be severely damaged at -1°c.
