Hello my tropical friends!
I want to add a specimen tree to a full sun spot in my garden. This isn't a great pic, but it's just to give you a feel for where this tree would go: to the left of that fireplace, in front of very large palm trees. I have several palm trees and cycads, so I am looking for a "tropical looking" tree to be a focal point.
Preferably showy, bold leaves, fragrance would be a plus!
I've been browsing catalogs but there aren't many "trees". I marvel everyday at the pictures everyone posts over here in our tropical forum, and I would love to hear your suggestions!
