I have it in my back garden in Hollywood, Florida, USA. I received seeds in 2005 collected by a plant researcher. I have planted them around, and also given them to local botanical gardens. One I planted has solid white flowers, and less distinct foliage, which makes me wonder whether it is a concanensis/oleifera cross.
The root system of M. concanensis is much more aggressive on the surface than M. oleifera. It has a very robust set of surface/slightly subsurface roots. -bs On Jan 8, 2009, at 2:51 PM, vinod kumar gupta wrote: > Nice shots.Where was it taken > > Vinod > > From: Barry Stock <[email protected]> > To: Indian Tree Pix <[email protected]> > Cc: J.M.
