Pterocarpus indicus in South Florida?

[fastfeat]

Pterocarpus indicus is a tree that I figured would be a popular tree for South Florida, sorta a humid subtropic version of Tipuana tipu. But I realized I've not seen any. Then a Google search turned up three trees, at least two of which are well-established at prominent public locales -- Montgomery BC and the Naples Zoo. Can't say I recall the one at MBC; haven't visited Naples Zoo yet. Hopefully Irma did not damage these much... Anyone else know of additional plantings, nurseries who grow?

I grow P. officinale and P. indica. They are neat looking critters.

It's very common here but known as Weeping Rosewood or Indian Rosewood. I've got a few fairly large ones on my place which, apart from being deciduous during the dry season, are looking good. But they are susceptible to Fusarium fungus which can wipe them out. Luckily so far no sign of the Fusarium on my trees but I know people who have lost theirs and that makes a lot of people reluctant to plant them.

Tropic,

Could you share some pictures possibly?

We have a young Pterocarpus rohrii here at Leu Gardens. It is about 6ft tall. It is the only species I have tried here.

Fastfeat,

Thank you for the great link to Florida Champion Trees that you posted in this topic. I have attempted to locate it for years unsuccessfully. Greatly appreciate your knowledge and effort.
