tree with a long, clean cylindrical bole (with 60-70 feet/14m-20m
height; 1.8 m trunk diameter). Required rainfall varies from 2250 – 5000 mm and
it performs well in an altitude of 500 -1500 m above mean sea level. It is well
suited for sandy loam soil and also it grows well on moist deep, well drained,
good quality soil. It is a light demander and coppices well up to a fair size
and it does not produce root suckers.

and can be found in home gardens also. No pure plantations have been
established for M. champaca in Sri Lank at present.
