Interestingly, more trees are now planted in California's Mediterranean climate, with neutral to slightly alkaline soils and long, dry summers. The tree also does well in the intermediate deserts of the SW US, such as Tucson, AZ! A rather amazingly adaptable species. Regards-- Ken.

I remember, nearly 50 years back we had a tall tree at least 100 m away from our house, and the fragrance of flowers would reach our house. I have never seen such big flowers since then. We would pluck a flower bud about 6 inches long, put it in a glass of water (as a vase). It would take nearly ten days to fully open and all these days there would be fragrance all over house. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
