Clitoria Species, Butterfly Pea Tree

Beautiful tropical tree, reaching between 10-15m tall. The ramification starts quite low, so it´s an easy tree to climb up (if you are a...Read More nutty who likes to play on trees like me :^P). Needs full sun, regular watering, and doesn´t care much about the soil. Beautiful flowers in pendant spikes, sometimes blue-violet and white, others pink-violet and white. Produces lots of seeds with good germination rate, so given the right conditions, it could generate new plants by itself next year.

But this is a remarkably vulnerable tree to aphids. We got almost every Butterfly Pea tree in the city infested with it, and lots of good trees are dying fast. You SHOULD at all costs take care of this.
