HARLEQUIN GLORYBOWER

HARLEQUIN GLORYBOWER-BOTANICAL NAME:CLERODENDRUM TRICHOTOMUM IS A SMALL TREE ABOUT 10 tO 15 FEET TALL . THE LEAVES ARE LARGE AND SMELL LIKE THE VITAMINS I TOOK AS A CHILD WHEN THEY ARE CRUSHED BUT THE FLOWERS SMELL HEAVENLY. THIS IS ONE TOUGH TREE, I HAVE NEVER WATERED IT AND IT LIKES SHADE OR SUN. WHEN THE FLOWERS FALL OF, THE DARK BLUE BERRIES APPEAR. IT DOES HAVE A TENDENCY TO SUCKER, BUT THEY ARE EASY TO PULL UP TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO MYNELLE GARDENS IN JACKSON YOU HAVE SEEN THESE TREES- BUT IF THEY ARE NOT BLOOMING THEY ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED.
