Tough and easy to grow, Halleria lucida is becoming popular as an ornamental tree for gardens. It is undoubtedly one of the best trees in Africa for attracting birds, but it is usually grown more for its attractive foliage and flowers.

Floriculture scientists have simply continued this trend to control the plant's environment to control flowering for the ...
