Plant description:

One of the most attractive trees from Brazil, the leopard tree is so named because of its beautifully marked bark.

This deciduous tree casts such a light shade that it is possible to grow grass beneath it. I t is fairly fast growing, although its large size means that it is not suitable for small gardens.
