Do these trees grow in Hawaii? I have been looking for a reference all night. They are tropical and I was hoping where chocolate and vanilla grow, a ylang ylang tree could grow. They remind me of many native blooms on Hawaii. Thank you for any direction!
Cananga odorata
(Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson
Cananga odorata, commonly called Ylang-ylang (pronounced /#712;i#720;læ#331; #712;i#720;læ#331;/[1] EE-lang-EE-lang), cananga tree, ilang-ilang, kenanga (Indonesian), fragrant cananga, Macassar-oil plant or perfume tree),[2] is a tree valued for its perfume. The essential oil derived from the flowers is used in aromatherapy.
Artabotrys odoratissimus, ylang-ylang vine,[3] and Artabotrys hexapetalus, climbing ylang-ylang,[4] are woody, evergreen climbing plants in the same family; A. odoratissimus is also a source of perfume.[3]

Mella, my auntie's just bloomed yesterday. She's in Kapoho. I believe we got it at the BIAN sale, but Jan at Pahoa Farmer's market has them too.

Mella, yup, it's one of my favorites! I have a kit to make natural perfumes & ylang ylang is one of the scents in the kit. Heck, sometimes I use it all by itself it smells so nice!

Another fragrant one in the same Magnolia family as the YlangYlang is the Michelia Alba (Champaca). I purchased a blooming shrub from the Kinoole farmers market couple of weeks ago for $15. The best $15 dollars I've ever spent! It just smells so heavenly. If my memory serves me right, it is the base fragrance for the perfume JOY.
