Madagascar almond, umbrella tree · Combretaceae · Semi-deciduous tree

Distinctly tiered horizontal branching in flat, evenly spaced layers — the most formally structured tree in the catalogue. Widely planted across the Gulf and Southeast Asia where a repeated architectural silhouette is wanted along a street or drive.

Specification

Mature height10–15 m
Crown spread8–12 m — flat tiered layers
Caliper range supplied5–22 cm standard, measured 1 m above soil level. Larger by arrangement.
Root-ball diameter80–140 cm (indicative)
Growth rateFast

FloweringInconspicuous

Landscape use

Avenue and driveway planting, courtyards, plazas, hotel and resort entrances. Its value is formal repetition — a line of them reads as deliberate architecture in a way few tropical trees manage.

The tiered form depends on careful growing and formative pruning from young, which is why our stock is trained for it from the outset. Buyers are welcome to inspect before shipping.

Site tolerance

DroughtModerate to high once established
SalinityModerate — used in coastal schemes (indicative)
WindModerate
SoilWell-drained, wide range including sandy soils
HeatHigh — performs in Gulf conditions with irrigation

Export notes

Supplied root-balled and wrapped. Crown reduction is kept minimal in this species to preserve the tiered structure that gives it its value. 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.

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.
