Clerodendrum wallichii

Clerodendrum is a genus consisting of 200 tropical trees, shrubs and vines, primarily from Southeast Asia.  General characteristics include showy flowers and fruits, and a lack of tolerance to cold.

C. wallichii reaches a height of around 10 feet.  You may plant one in sun or shade, but not in spots that are exposed to temperature extremes (not too cool, not too hot).  Keep it out of the wind, and avoid putting it where it will get late afternoon sun.

	Cascades of flowers appear around Thanksgiving.
We have some in 7-gal., about 4' feet high.
