Cassia javanica

The Cassia Javanica, also known as the Apple Blossom Tree, is a stunning flowering tree admired for its spectacular display of pink and white blooms. As the flowers mature, they transition from pale pink to deeper shades, giving the tree a dynamic, multicolored appearance throughout the blooming season. Typically flowering in late spring and summer, the tree’s abundant blossoms create a breathtaking canopy, making it a popular choice for gardens, parks, and avenues.

Beyond its striking visual appeal, the Cassia Javanica also plays an important ecological role by attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds, enhancing local biodiversity. It is well-suited for tropical and subtropical climates and is relatively low-maintenance, making it a versatile addition to both urban and rural landscapes.

With its vibrant, ever-changing blossoms, the Apple Blossom Tree adds elegance and color to any space, offering both aesthetic beauty and ecological benefits. Its distinctive, long-lasting flowers make it a perfect choice for creating eye-catching focal points in any landscape.
