Quickstick
Gliricidia sepium
Quickstick is a fast-growing tropical tree or large shrub valued for its stunning pink and white flowers, nitrogen-fixing roots, and use in agroforestry and living fence systems. It thrives in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil and is highly adaptable once established, tolerating periodic drought. Prune regularly to control size and shape, or use cuttings — which root easily — to propagate new plants quickly.
