The Fiddlewood is a reliable shade tree that is planted widely in the tropics. Its scent is highly distinctive and often compared to sweet almond or vanilla. The flowers are followed by small, round, orange berries that attract birds. The wood was historically used to make musical instruments, hence the name.
