In the past, this species has been utilized and occasionally cultivated, for the fiber and latex that can be obtained from the stems. The plant is often grown as an ornamental in tropical areas, valued especially for its large and showy flowers. They range from purplish-pink to whitish in color, 4-6 cm long and 5-9 cm wide. They are funnel-shaped and have five broad petals that are partially fused. These flowers are borne on short thick stalks and occur in small clusters (usually 6-12 flowers) at the ends of the branches. Flowering occurs mainly during summer but can bloom throughout the year. Its fruit (10-15 cm long and 2-4.5 cm wide) are produced in divergent pairs and contain numerous seeds topped with a silky tuft of white hairs. The stems are greyish-brown in color with warty spots and contain a milky sap. The thick and leathery leaves are oppositely arranged along the stems, with dark green and glossy upper surfaces. Without support it grows into a multi-branched shrub 1-3 m tall, but as a climber it can reach a height of up to 30 m when growing over tall vegetation. It prefers full sun to partial shade. USDA Hardiness Zones 9 to 12. **extremely toxic to all livestock & humans, caution is advised.

It is native to the Malay Peninsula of Southeast Asia, but it has naturalized in some tropical areas, including Hawaii. The flowers appear in late summer or early fall, and are quite unusual looking. They form on red 4 in (10.2 cm) cone-shaped bracts, with several 2 in (5 cm) pure white crinkled flowers protruding from each cone. The flowers look like crepe paper, thus the common name of crepe ginger. After the flowers fade away, the attractive red cone-shaped bracts remain. This Costus can grow to 10 ft (3.1 m) tall in frost-free areas, but typically grows to about 6 ft (1.8 m) tall in cooler regions where it is root hardy but dies back in winter. Hardiness: USDA Zones 7 - 12. This is the most cold-hardy of the spiral gingers, and has been tested and proven root hardy down to 0°F (-17.8°C). It prefers part sun but will grow in full sun if it gets plenty of moisture. Regular watering requirements but will rot in standing water. Many gingers have culinary or medicinal uses. This species is not commonly used in western cultures, but the rhizome has been used in India and Southeast Asia to treat boils, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, vertigo, ear, eye, and nose pain, and to stop vomiting.

They are soon followed by attractive clusters of seeded bananas that are 3" (8 cm) long, velvety pink, and peel themselves when ripe. They are sweet and tasty but the hard seeds can get in the way. As with all Ensete and Musa seeds, patience is needed and can take 6-12 months to germinate. Plants may be placed outside during warmer months but should be taken in to a conservatory or greenhouse and protected in winter. Once established, it seems to be quite winter hardy as long as they are grown in full sun. Until well established, a cage of shredded leaves around the trunk in the winter months should do the trick. It remains an evergreen in frost free zones. USDA zones 7b-11

In the Spring, flowers attract honeybees and are greenish-white, fragrant frizzy puffballs, 1/2" across. The flowers will then produce a pod, which turns pink when ripe and open to expose the seeds within a pink/white, sweet edible pulp. This flesh can be eaten raw, boiled or made into a refreshing beverage that some say tastes like lemonade. The seeds can be eaten raw or in curries. An oil can also be obtained from the seed. Many parts of this species have several medicinal uses as well. It can fix atmospheric nitrogen, and grow on waste and denuded lands, so it is used to afforest and conserve poor soils. Do not use a fertilizer containing nitrogen because the roots of this plant are nitrogen fixing. It is shade intolerant when young, and drought tolerant when mature. Protect from freezing in the first three years, including using winter mulch. USDA hardiness zones: 10-11

This small member of the pea family thrives in almost any soil as long as it is well drained and in full sun or partial shade. It is hardy in climates that range from 5a to 11, but seems to do better in northern regions. Well suited for urban parks and gardens, the 8-inch flower clusters make particularly wonderful overhangs for paths and walkways. At maturity it will stand about 20-30 feet. Considered to be a small deciduous tree, shrub border or hedge, train for arbors, and pergolas. Good background plant! Its light green foliage is susceptible to sunburn during hot summer days and the flower buds will be damaged if caught by a late spring frost. This species is not to be confused with the Cassia Fistula which grows more in tropical regions. Its seeds germinate easily and it can also be propagated by layering or grafting. Care must be taken when applying fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides around Golden Chain Trees, as they are reported to be sensitive to a number of toxins. Ironically they themselves are highly toxic and can even cause fatality in humans if any part of the tree is ingested in a sizable quantity.

Here is a quick view of the Maclura pomifera tree. If you're interested in seeds to this beautiful tree please visit our website at: https://www.theplantattraction.com/products/maclura-pomifera-tree-10-seeds-osage-orange-fruit-hedge-horse-apple?_pos=1&_sid=2a734d7e3&_ss=r Maclura Pomifera Also known as: Osage Orange, Hedge Horse Apple Tree, bowwood, bois-d'arc, and bodark. Here is a medium sized, deciduous tree that typically grows to 35-60’ tall with a broad rounded crown. It is also commonly grown as a hedgerow shrub at much lower heights. It is native to river valleys and rich bottomlands in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana, but has been widely planted in a variety of environments throughout the United States, and has naturalized in many areas, particularly east of the Mississippi River. It features orange-brown bark, ovate shiny dark green leaves, milky sap, thorny twigs and large wrinkled fruit. Leaves turn yellow in fall. Osage orange is dioecious (separate male and female trees), with non-showy greenish male and female flowers appearing in clusters on separate trees in June. Fertilized flowers on female trees give way to inedible grapefruit-sized fruits (3-5” diameter). Each fruit is actually a dense cluster of hundreds of small fruits. The fruit has not been found toxic to livestock. The wood is long lasting, dense and tough. Native Americans used the wood for bows, hence the common name of bowwood. As settlers pushed westward toward the Mississippi River and beyond in the 1800s, fencing materials were quite expensive and in short supply. In lieu of fences, thousands of miles of hedgerows were planted, with osage orange being a prominent inclusion. Osage orange suckers freely and quickly forms an impenetrable barrier due to its thorns. Other parts of the tree are used in food processing and for making furniture, dyes and pesticides. Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers uniformly moist soils, but tolerates both dry and wet conditions. Also tolerates poor soils, drought, heat, cold and wind. USDA Zone: 4 to 9
