This is the most celebrated flowering tree in Vietnamese New Year Days. The closest name for this plant that I can find is Ochna Integerrima. We called it Hoa Mai. There are many species of Ochna. However, when Vietnamese people talk about Hoa Mai for new year ( Tet ) this is the one. It will grow to a small tree not a shrub like other Ochna (Mickey Mouse Plant ). It also has wider leafs, bigger flowers, do produce seeds but rarely. It is very sensitive to cold weather , soil condition and location, that is why this plant is hard to find or keep here in California. It likes organic, moist, well drain soil, half day sun ( full sun if get a lot of humid weather ). You will kill it if over fertilizer, let it sit in water, its' roots got disturbed. In Zone 9 or colder Zone, it will be a houseplant, which must located at a place where it can gets morning to noon sunshine. Grow it outdoor for Zone 10 or warmer Zone, but it must has humid weather.
