Hopea nutans is a very large rainforest tree from the dipterocarp family, native to Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, and it is a timber tree rather than a garden plant. It is not realistically grown as an ornamental, so the care details below describe what it needs in the wild.
Hopea nutans is a large rainforest tree species in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. The tallest measured specimen is 82.8 m tall in the Tawau Hills National Park, in Sabah on the island of Borneo. It grows in lowland and hill mixed dipterocarp rain forests and freshwater swamp forests, on periodically inundated sandy, limestone, and ultrabasic soils, up to 650 metres elevation.
