A tropical tree native to tropical Africa and Asia with large, finely-divided compound leaves and fragrant yellow flowers, valued for shade and ornamental purposes.
From Spanish or Portuguese 'guango,' derived from African languages, likely referring to an indigenous name for this tree species widespread in tropical regions.
The guango tree (also called the rain tree or monkey pod) is so good at filtering nitrogen from the air through its leaves that the ground beneath it is often cleaner and more fertile—it's a natural fertilizer factory!
