Terminalia tetrandra

Cultivation Details

The tree shows sympodial growth, with new lateral shoots developing from buds in the leaf axils. These shoots grow rapidly and characteristically exist of a long, slender, leafless basal part and a short apical part with clustered leaves. This growth model results in a crown with tiers of branches, but old trees may lose the storied structure of the crown. Terminalia tetrandra mainly flowers from December to January. In the basal part of the inflorescence usually bisexual flowers develop, in the apical part male flowers^[1].
