Tabebuia chrysotricha,
Golden Trumpet Tree

Trumpet Tree is one of the most beautiful trees in flower in the world! Its bright blooms fill the sky in spring with vivid yellow color for several weeks. All foliage drops from the tree just before it flowers. This is normal and is not a cause for concern. Plants flowers and grow best in full sun. Branches often form included bark in the crotches. This can cause the branch to split from the trunk as it grows older. This tree has survived without cold damage many winters (1990-2003) in hardiness zone 8B and may grow farther north in protected locations. Golden Trumpet Tree can be grown best in full sun on any reasonably fertile soil with moderate moisture.

Trumpet Tree can be grown in full sun or partial shade on any reasonably fertile soil with moderate moisture. Trees should be protected from frost.It is one of the most beautiful trees in flower which has a place in most landscapes. This tree appears to tolerate urban conditions well having survived in parking lot islands, buffer strips, and in other areas with limited soil space. Once trees are established trees in Florida (50 - 65 inches of rainfall each year) they have grown fine without irrigation. Trees are well suited for planting in parking lot islands and other small soil spaces. Trees are considered fairly good compartmentalizers of decay.
