Indian-walnut
Aleurites moluccanus
Indian-walnut (Candlenut) is a fast-growing tropical tree best suited to warm, frost-free climates with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Water consistently while young but avoid waterlogged conditions, as the tree is sensitive to root rot. It is primarily grown as an ornamental or cultural tree and requires occasional pruning to manage its canopy size.
