Comments:
Will grow in alkaline soils that contain salt. It will also tolerate salt-spray and makes it a good seaside plant. Has drought tolerance. Frost will damage this plant. Makes a handsome lawn specimen in warm climates not subject to freezing temperatures. Produces exotic red flower in May. Reported to be one of the best braodleaf evergreen trees for seaside plantings in tropical landscapes. Scale insects can sometime be a problem. Flowers reported to attract butterflies.
