<p>The <i>Hopea odorata</i> tree thrives in groups along river banks, reaching elevations of up to 600 meters. Its flowers rely on insects for pollination. When planted outside of its natural environment, mulching is beneficial for maintaining soil moisture. However, this tree is vulnerable to leaf-chewing insects, stem borers, and a seed-feeding weevil known as Nanophyes. Propagation of the tree is done through seeds.</p>
