Description
Engel is the German word for Angel. A very apt name because the flowers hang in bunches and look like angels.
The flowers have the same heavenly perfume as P. stenopetala, very much like sweet carnations.
Engel is the best selection of an extremely rare interspecific cross between P. stenopetala and P. pudica given to us by my dear friend Dr. Kukiat Tanteeratarm, one of the worlds top three frangipani breeders.
Unlike P. stenopetala which is very drooping in habit and more suited to hanging in stone walls, Engel has the compact upright qualities of P. pudica and thicker non hanging branches and bigger beautiful shiny lime green leaves.
I consider this new evergreen small tree (to 3. 5m) one of the best evergreen landscaping trees anywhere in the world.
Highly rust resistant and very fast growing.
