The Rain Tree is a fastgrowing shade-giving tree with a thick trunk that loses its leaves for a short period. Known for its huge umbrella-shaped canopy, its diameter is often greater than its height. The pink flowers resemble powder puffs and the fruit is a fleshy pod containing sweet pulp relished by squirrels. Its light-sensitive leaflets ‘close’ at sundown. The mild shower sometimes felt (mass excreta of insects residing in its canopy), gives the tree its name.
