Calophyllum inophyllum is a slow-growing evergreen tree with a broad, irregular crown, reaching up to 30 meters. It features glossy, leathery, oval leaves and fragrant white flowers. Thriving in full sun and coastal conditions, it tolerates sandy or clay soils and salt spray. Highly valued for its durable timber used in boat building and its seeds which produce medicinal tamanu oil, this versatile tree serves as an excellent windbreak and ornamental shade provider in tropical landscapes.
