Imagine the perfect tropical tree: one that thrives on sun-drenched, sandy shores, its glossy leaves shimmering in the salt spray, and its canopy filled with large, star-shaped flowers that release a sweet, intoxicating fragrance at night. This is the Poomarut, also poetically known as the Beach Gardenia.

It’s a tree that combines rugged resilience with delicate beauty, making it an ideal centerpiece for any coastal or tropical landscape.

A must-have for creating a lush, fragrant paradise by the sea.

✨ Why the Poomarut is a Coastal Treasure:

• 🌸 Exquisitely Fragrant Night Blooms: The tree produces clusters of beautiful, white, tubular flowers with a long, slender corolla. These blooms are powerfully fragrant, especially in the evening, filling the air with a sweet, gardenia-like perfume.

• 🏝️ Exceptional Salt and Wind Tolerance: Guettarda speciosa is a champion of coastal ecosystems. It is highly tolerant of saline soil, salt-laden winds, and sandy, well-drained conditions where many other ornamental trees would fail.

• 🌿 Attractive, Glossy Foliage: The tree is adorned with large, broad, glossy green leaves that have a leathery texture, providing a lush, tropical appearance year-round and creating a beautiful contrast with the white flowers.

• 🐝 A Haven for Pollinators: The nectar-rich, fragrant flowers are a magnet for night-flying moths, hawkmoths, and other pollinators, adding a dynamic element to your moonlit garden.

• 💪 Low-Maintenance and Hardy: Once established, this tree is remarkably drought-tolerant and requires very little care. It’s a resilient and rewarding choice that brings maximum beauty with minimal effort.
