hibiscus tree
Showy flowering shrub
A hibiscus tree is a hibiscus plant—typically *Hibiscus rosa-sinensis* or a similar species—trained or pruned into a tree form with a single trunk and rounded canopy, rather than allowed to grow as a natural shrub.
Nurseries sell these as ornamental standards for patios and gardens: The hibiscus tree by the pool bloomed all summer.
