Characteristics:
• Plant Description: The Champak Tree grows up to 15–30 meters tall, with a straight trunk and a dense, rounded canopy. Its long, glossy green leaves provide year-round foliage. The tree produces highly fragrant, creamy yellow to orange flowers that bloom profusely during the warmer months. The flowers are followed by clusters of small, reddish-brown fruits containing seeds.
