Overview

The Pink Ball Tree, or Dombeya wallichii, is a deciduous tropical showstopper. Growing 15-20 feet in height, it features heart-shaped leaves and prolific pink blooms resembling hydrangeas that appear in winter. This specimen demands full sun to partial shade and thrives in USDA zones 9-11. It's ideal for creating focal points in gardens due to its striking flowers and pleasant fragrance, though it requires well-drained soil to flourish.
