As a landscape tree, it prefers either full sun or partial shade and a fertile soil of medium consistency that is neither heavy clay nor sand. Its water needs are also average. 

This tree is considered deciduous and will sometimes drop all of its foliage in late winter. The new leaves have a bronze color when they first appear.

It produces 1" yellow or apricot-tinged flowers with 5 or 7 petals each and orange stamens.

An Ochna integerrima tree grown from a seed won’t bloom until it is at least 2 years old, and its flowering won’t be as profuse as that of an older plant. A tree started from a cutting or graft will bloom its first year, but won’t be as vigorous as a seedling. 

Self-pollinating flowers generally appear in April or May in the U. S.

Great as a cutting flower for your kitchen counter too. Look so gorges in bonzai.
