Cordia Sebestena

Cordia sebestena is a shrubby tree in the borage family,  native to the American tropics.

Cordia sebestena grows to a maximum height of 8–9 m (25–30 ft) at maturity, with a nearly equal spread.

 

 

The dense, evergreen foliage consists of dark green, leathery,  leaves, 18 cm (7 in) long, with wavy margins. These leaves are covered with small hairs, lending them a rough, “sandpapery” texture.

Cordia sebestena is widely planted throughout the tropics as an ornamental plant in gardens for its showy flowers. It is a slow-growing plant, and sheds enough leaves and fruit to require some upkeep.
