The Powderpuff tree blooms with red, pink, or white blossoms resembling soft, fluffy powder puffs. Powderpuffs are actually large, fast-growing, wide shrubs and work well in tropical areas. But work well in temperate areas has seasonal color during the spring-summer-fall months. They are often already trained to grow like a tree on a single trunk, keeping maintenance to a minimum. These small trees branch out widely and have very attractive leaves. The flower buds are as unusual as the flowers...like little rounded berry clusters. This is a great plant with puffball blooms that attract honeybees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds.
