Summary
Machilus pauhoi, commonly known as Pauhoi Machilus, is an evergreen tree native to subtropical and tropical regions of Southeast Asia, particularly in broad-leaved forests at lower altitudes. It typically grows to a height of 10-15 meters with a dense, rounded crown. The tree is characterized by its glossy, elliptical leaves and small, inconspicuous flowers that bloom in spring. The flowers are followed by small, round fruits that turn from green to black as they mature.
Pauhoi Machilus is valued for its dense foliage and is often used in urban landscaping, as a shade tree, and for reforestation projects due to its adaptability to different soil types. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring medium amounts of water and thriving in full sun to part shade conditions. While it prefers medium or fast-draining loam soils, it is tolerant of a range of soil conditions. Gardeners should be aware that it may require pruning to maintain a desired shape and to remove any damaged branches.CC BY-SA 4.0
