The Tembusu is a native South East Asia tree. It is conical in shape but could branch erratically between tree to tree. The beauty of this tree is it's natural way of branching horizontally close to the bottom of the trunk and twist vertically upwards creating a tuning fork look. The low hanging branches are favourite spots for swings and photos. It also has a very nice dark brown and scaly bark. Symmetrical, beautiful specimens are one out of 50.
