Pterocarpus Indicus Live Tree Seedlings

Description: This live tree seedling is a beautiful addition to any home or garden. The Pterocarpus Indicus tree, also known as the Indian chestnut, is a stunning specimen that will add a touch of elegance to any space. Its seedling stage makes it a unique and special plant that is just starting to grow and develop. Pterocarpus indicus is a big tree, growing to 33 m in height and 2 m diameter. The trunks are usually fluted and buttressed to 7-m diameter at the base. The crowns are large and bear many long branches that are at first ascending, but eventually arch over and sometimes droop at the ends. Trees with long willowy, drooping branches are particularly conspicuous and attractive. The flowers are yellow, fragrant, and borne in large axillary panicles. When flowering, the buds do not open in daily sequence. Instead, as buds come to full size, they are kept waiting, to be triggered into opening. The opened flowers last for one day. After that, several days may pass before another batch of accumulated 'ready' buds open. The nature of the trigger is unknown. Whole avenues of such trees blooming in unpredictable synchrony making a splendid display. The fruits, which take four months to mature, are disc-shaped, flat, and have winged margins. About 5 cm across, the fruit has a central woody-corky bulge containing several seeds (ptero-carpus means winged fruit). Unlike most legumes, the Pterocarpus fruit is indehiscent and is dispersed by wind. It also floats in water and can be water-dispersed. To this auction, you will receive a seedling measure more than 8 inches tall, with a good root system.
