Thank you @nikkithefairy for capturing this amazing photo of our Cannonball tree and for sharing all the wonderful information below!

"This unique South American tree lives at my favorite place, @fairchildgarden

These large, unique flowers hang heavy from the branches with their faces facing the ground.

When the fruit ripens on the trees, they fall on unsuspecting victims walking below!

These trees get tall. They can get to 115 feet and they LOVE sunlight ☀️ and can have over 1000 blooms on a single tree.

The cannonball tree is a sacred tree among Buddhists ☸️ because as Siddhartha Gautama (who was later the Buddha) was born, his mother held on to this tree.

To Hindus the flowers are said to look like Nagas (snake-like water protectors) and are grown at Shiva temples.

In Asia in general it’s considered a tree of prosperity and good luck.

The cannonball tree reveals that, deep down, we may not be vulnerable enough with ourselves. The cannonball tree encourages you to embrace your vulnerability, to lean into your fear, and to shed light on that which you hide from within yourself.

It encourages you to be vulnerable with yourself and others."

Pictured: Byrsonima lucida, locustberry, is a shrub or small tree that can grow to 15 feet tall. Dime-sized flowers are produced in the spring; they have spoon-shaped petals which change from white to pink to red as they age. The berry-like fruits ripen to a pinkish brown and hold one seed. Locustberry can be found in pine rocklands of Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys, as well as The West Indies. It requires full sun to light shade and good drainage. After initial planting irrigation, it is drought tolerant. The rare Florida Duskywing butterfly uses locustberry as a larval host and solitary oil-collecting bees use oils produced by glands at the base of the flowers. Fruits provide food for birds in early summer. A Connect to Protect Network Species! 🤗

Beautiful new plants are now available for purchase online!

Featured: Freycinetia sp. 'Upright Cane'
This plant is related to Pandanus and produces long leaves in three rows around the stem. The bases of the leaf undersides tend to be purple-red. Typical Freycinetia species are climbing/vining plants, this one produces upright or sometimes prostrate canes that at full size can be several feet high. It is a good container plant and will occasionally produce interesting inflorescences at maturity. It appreciates good light but not full sun and an open mix for the coarse roots.
