Music Tree 

Crescentia alata  Take pleasure in growing this unique specimen tree with a short trunk and long, spreading branches and bright green leaves. Fragrant blooms occur anytime of the year right on the main trunk and larger limbs! Flowers are tinted yellow with a trace of purple and followed by hard shelled fruits. These fruits have traditionally been used to make the Latin American instrument Maraca. Prized by tropical plant growers! Because of its short trunk this tree would make a unique bonsai specimen!  Item # rsd - 45
