Brugmansia arborea, commonly known as the angel’s trumpet, is an evergreen shrub or small tree that can grow up to 7 meters (23 feet) in height. The plant has ovate leaves with coarsely toothed margins and is covered with fine velvety white down on its leaves, flower stalks, fruit, and young shoots. The flowers of Brugmansia arborea are strongly fragrant, trumpet-shaped, nodding to sub-horizontal, and are white to ivory-white or cream in color. These flowers are relatively short compared to other Brugmansia species, measuring between 12-17 centimeters (4.7-6.7 inches) long. The ovoid fruit of Brugmansia arborea is approximately 6 centimeters (2.4 inches) in length and 4.5 centimeters (1.8 inches) in width. The calyx of the flower is slit along one side and is notably long compared to the flower itself.
