History / Story<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">Jungle Jack's source description: Intense, very veiny, deep rose coloration on large 4-5" flowers in big clusters. Very good bloomer with excellent tree form. Scent is a medium to strong perfume. Medium growth makes a nice (to 15') canopy tree with thick ribbed leaves. If you ever see this tree in full bloom you'll think you've achieved Nirvana yourself.</span> <div class="pdb-inline-tools"><details class="pdb-inline-suggest pdb-inline-login-gate"><summary>Suggest correction</summary><div class="pdb-inline-panel"><p>To suggest a change, please log in or create a contributor account.
