🌱 Story of False Ashoka
Polyalthia longifolia, commonly known as the False Ashoka, is a tall, evergreen tree native to India. It is easily recognized by its symmetrical, conical, or columnar growth habit with drooping, lanceolate leaves that have wavy margins. It is widely planted in gardens, parks, and along roadsides for its aesthetic appeal and ability to act as a noise barrier. The tree produces star-shaped, pale green flowers and clusters of dark purple fruits that attract birds.
