Real Cassia javanica nursery stock supplied by Thai Botanic in Thailand
Cassia javanica — real nursery stock in Thailand.

Clusters of pink and white flowers carried densely along the branches, opening as the tree comes back into leaf. Softer in colour than Cassia fistula and often specified alongside it where a scheme wants two flowering seasons rather than one.

Specification

Mature height10–20 m
Crown spread8–12 m (indicative)
Caliper range supplied5–22 cm standard, measured 1 m above soil level. Larger by arrangement.
Root-ball diameter80–140 cm (indicative)
Growth rateModerate to fast
HabitDeciduous in a marked dry season
FloweringDense pink and white clusters along the branches

Landscape use

Boulevards, park groupings, resort grounds and residential streets. Like most flowering trees it reads best repeated, where the whole planting comes into colour together.

It rewards reliable irrigation with a fuller, longer display. On irrigated Gulf schemes it pairs beautifully with Cassia fistula, the two giving pink and gold in succession.

Site tolerance

DroughtModerate — needs irrigation in arid climates
SalinityLow (indicative)
WindModerate
SoilWell-drained, prefers moisture-retentive loam
HeatHigh, with water
USDA zone10–12

Export notes

Supplied root-balled and wrapped. Best lifted in its leafless period. Phytosanitary certification accompanies every shipment. See export and compliance, and how the root ball is built, wrapped and loaded for the container on our nursery site.


For available sizes and current stock in this species, message us on WhatsApp at +66 93 425 9892 or email contact@thaibotanic.com — or browse the species catalogue. This is one of the species we grow and supply regularly. If you are working to a programme, send the planting schedule and we will plan lifting and shipping around it. Where a design calls for something outside our usual range, we source it through the nursery network we have worked with for years, given reasonable notice.

Caliper is the trunk diameter measured 1.0 m above the root collar, and is the minimum each grade meets. Root balls are sized in proportion to the tree; larger balls can be prepared where a specification calls for them. Where a schedule specifies container size in litres rather than caliper, this conversion bridges the two.
