EspañolMalinche
AlsoFlame tree, Flamboyant, Royal Poinceana
A broad, flat-crowned deciduous tree, often wider than it is tall, with feathery, fern-like foliage that casts a light dappled shade. From late spring into summer the canopy is covered in large red-orange flowers, followed by long, flat woody pods that hang on the branches for months. It has been described as perhaps the most important flowering ornamental tree of the tropics, planted along roadsides throughout frost-free regions of the world.
Sourced · see Record tab Least Concern · IUCN
Worth knowingThe US Forest Service Woody Plant Seed Manual calls it 'perhaps the most important flowering ornamental tropical tree of the world', and seedlings can reach flowering size in as little as 3–5 years.
