Description
Ulta Ashok grows natively in warm humid climates of Pakistan, India, Myanmar, and Malaysia and belongs to the Fabaceae family. Ashoka is an ever-green, slender but slow-growing flowering tree. It is an easy-to-grow, easy-to-prune tree that flowers abundantly and produces a compact shaped canopy an ideal candidate as a house-plant or a lawn tree. It exhibits symmetrical pyramidal growth with willowy weeping pendulous branches and long narrow lanceolate leaves with undulate margins. The tree is known to grow over 30 ft in height.
Polyalthia is derived from a combination of Greek words meaning ‘many cures’ with reference to the medicinal properties of the tree while Longifolia, in Latin, refers to the length of its leaves.
Polyalthia longifolia is sometimes incorrectly identified as the Ashoka tree (Saraca indica) because of the close resemblance of both trees. One might mistake it as a tree with effectively no branches, but in fact, Ulta Ashok allowed to grow naturally (without trimming the branches out for decorative reasons) grows into a normal large tree with plenty of shade.
