Cordia dichotoma, commonly known as fragrant manjack, snotty gobbles, or Indian cherry, is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Indomalayan realm, northern Australia, and western Melanesia. It typically grows with a short bole and a spreading crown, reaching heights of 25-40 feet (7.5-12 meters) with a similar spread. The stem bark is grayish-brown, either smooth or wrinkled, and the foliage is broadly ovate with a rough texture. The white, tubular flowers are fragrant and open only at night, attracting nocturnal pollinators. Flowering occurs throughout the year in warmer climates. The fruit is a yellow or pinkish-yellow globose drupe that turns black when ripe and is edible, though it has a somewhat mucilaginous texture.

Fragrant manjack is valued for its ornamental flowers, edible fruits, and traditional medicinal uses. It is often used in urban planting, as a roadside tree, and in traditional medicine for treating various ailments. The tree prefers full sun to part shade, well-drained soils, and moderate water, making it relatively easy to maintain. It is drought-tolerant once established. However, gardeners should be aware of its potential invasiveness outside its native range, as it can spread aggressively in suitable climates.CC BY-SA 4.0
