The rare PURPLE FLOWERING Uncarina!! Madagascar caudex forming succulent tree. Amazing purple flowers with dark nectar guides in the white throat of the flower. This is a very large stock tree in 15 gallon; exact plant shown. One of our seed producers. This species grows a lot slower than its yellow flowering cousins. It has a longer dormancy period as well, and doesn't seem to go into the same pseudo-dormancy (leaf shrinking) as the others. Shipped bare root. RARE.
It is not cold hardy and needs protection from freezing and near freezing temps. This tree loves a lot of water and fertilizer during the growing season when the leaves are on the tree. During the dormant period, keep it relatively dry (water once every two weeks if the tree is leafless). This tree loves full sun all the time, and can tolerate it even when dormant.
