Paula's Pride #436 from Coralcoast

2004 Seedling of a Singapore Evergreen tree in Marr Street, Carnarvon. Of the four seeds, another is a pretty dwarf with very frilly foliage. The fourth seedling trees is a brilliant pink evergreen with long pinwheel petals and great perfume which will get the name of Vesna, after the reluctant donor of the seeds. Flower colour is lemon, and keeps well. The scent is as strong as its Singapore Evergreen mother, a sort of citrusy overlay of scent. Inflorescences produce many dozens of fairly small flowers over a long period, though have not set seed to date. Brilliant shiny leaves like stiff patent leather, dark bottle green, and some leaves were more obtuse than others. To date this tree has shed almost no leaves. Branching is tight, heavy and compact, and the bark on the trunk is quite knobbly. I have rooted on a number of branches, and they reproduce themselves vegetatively extremely well. Blooms are a nice strong lemon colour, fading a little before shedding. Leathery thick and shiny, with large clusters of lemon-coloured blooms, flowering almost all year, with a truly awesome strong citrus-vanilla perfume. Flower colour is lemon, and keeps well. The scent is as strong Singapore plus citrus. Glorious foliage, with brilliant shiny leaves like stiff patent leather. The colour is a dark bottle green, and some leaves were more obtuse. To date this tree has shed almost no leaves, Branching is tight, heavy and compact, and the bark on the trunk is knobby. Has not yet set seed.
