<p>Kenanga, a fast-growing plant, thrives in both disturbed and undisturbed forests, preferring slightly acidic soil and altitudes of up to 500 meters. This tree, known for producing flowers year-round, can be propagated by seed, which will germinate within two to three months, or more commonly, through grafting. The ripe seeds of the Kenanga tree are a favorite food source for birds.</p>
