Brugmansia arborea originates from the Andes region of Ecuador, Peru, northern Chile and Bolivia. In its natural habitat it grows as a bush or small tree (arborea = like a tree). It prefers high altitudes, which are drier, between 6500 to 9750 feet. Periods of frost are not uncommon there. If the cold is too severe or if it is dry for too long, the plant loses a lot of leaves along with its younger, thinner branches. Once the unfavorable environmental conditions are past, this species sends out new shoots and continues to grow.
B. arborea is easy to recognize from the size of its flowers. They are the shortest of all the species of Brugmansia. The trumpet-shaped corollas are between 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 inches long, are white to creamy white in color and noticeably widen out to the edge of the flower. At the edge there are clear heart-shaped indentations between the turned-back peaks, which are approximately 1 inch long. When viewed directly from below, these look like five pointed stars.
