Amherstia nobilis-The Famous Pride of Burma Tree

Extremely rare in the US due to its tropical needs, the legendary Pride of Burma Tree adorns gardens and streets throughout the warm and humid tropics. Its pendant chandeliers of scarlet blooms are a marvel of  design, yet few have ever been brought to bloom in this country. Grown best in rich organic soil and in a protected south exposure, this is a tree for the serious plant lover. If you have a well enclosed courtyard and wish to grow one of the world's most spectacular flowering trees, this tree is for you. Routinely ranked as one of the world's most desirable trees, it is the city tree of Singapore. Small plants are over $150 when available from Hawaii.
