In stock
Description
Tabebuia chrysantha, is a deciduous tree known for its stunning floral display. In late winter to early spring, before the leaves emerge, the tree produces an abundance of large, trumpet-shaped flowers. These blooms are a brilliant golden-yellow, covering the tree in a vibrant blanket of color. The tree's compound leaves, palmately divided into leaflets, add to its overall tropical aesthetic. The foliage, while not the main feature, provides an attractive backdrop to the spectacular floral show. Tabebuia chrysantha can reach heights of 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) or more, creating a relatively small to medium-sized tree with a rounded crown. Native to Central and South America, including parts of Mexico, Tabebuia chrysantha thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It is well-suited for regions with well-draining soils and warm temperatures. The Golden Trumpet Tree is widely admired for its beauty and is a popular ornamental tree in landscaping. In some regions, it holds cultural significance, and its wood is occasionally used in local crafts. The peak blooming period typically occurs in late winter or early spring, depending on the specific climate of its growing location. It generally requires full sun to part shade and well-draining soil. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant.
