Polyalthia longifolia, Ashoka, is native to India. The weeping, branching habit of this 25-foot tall tree gives it a narrow columnar shape. Glossy green, long, narrow leaves have attractive wavy edges. The star-shaped, light green flowers in the spring are followed by clusters of inch-round black fruits. Grows in full sun.
