The Cannonball Tree

- In the rainforests of South America, fruits of the cannonball tree sway and clash in the wind, creating loud noises like artillery fire! These fruits really do resemble big, rusty cannonballs as they hang in clusters on the side of the tree, attached to rope-like tangles that emerge directly from the trunk.
The cannonball tree’s beautifully complex and fragrant flowers resemble huge orchids. At night, the flowers become particularly pungent in order to attract swift-flying pollinators. This particular cannonball tree was collected in 1913 at Jamaica’s Hope Gardens and has flourished at Fairchild since it was planted here in 1938.
Couroupita guianensis
Family: Lecythidaceae
