This tree grows in south central Alabama's black belt soil, and bees
work it, both flowers and foliage nectaries, which I believe (not

seen them in sufficient numbers at one location to make much difference.

Looking up the Paradise tree (which I had never heard of) on the
internet, this site was interesting to me; another mentioned that
butterflies work it, but its growth is apparently limited to Zone 9
in Florida.
