Golden Trumpet Tree, Golden Goddess (Tabebuia chrysantha)

Golden Trumpet Tree, Golden Goddess
Tabebuia chrysantha

That is a magnificent tree! Is it that color all year, or just for a short time?

WOW!

That is a great specimen! I still remember the first time I saw a Tabebuia tree...It was just incredible and I had to get close to it and verify that it was real. Thanks for sharing it with us!

This tree is in Orlando and is one of scores which bloom in late mid to late March around the downtown neighborhoods. The rest of the year it is a somewhat unremarkable tree, but really shows it's splendor when it blooms. Later, as the flowers fall, a bright yellow carpet surrounds the tree.

Hello,
I live near Orlando in Clermont, Fl. I was thinking about planting such a tree in my yard and I was wondering, how well this kind of tree does in the hurricane winds?

BTW, beautiful tree.

Thanks.

There are two such trees about 6 blocks north of my house: one over the power lines and the baby one is 15 feet tall. So, today, I got some seeds . . . we'll see.

Next, I'm going for the purple jacaranda (I see some here, but all over the place in St Pete), then some royal poincianas.

They'll blend in with my weather station:

Hi! I have a question. How old was this tree when it started its blooming? I am not sure if it's normal to wait about 10 years or my tree is needing help.

This is Venezuela's national tree, we called it Araguaney. Is very good for arid areas and when it blooms early in the year, January-Feb, drops all the leaves. The wood is very resistant and appreciated for furniture and carpentry making, and it is a medium-small size tree.

I live in Orlando Fl. My front yard faces south/west full sun, I am replacing a maple tree that came down in a recent bad storm. I wish to plant two Tabebuia trees in the front yard one on each side of the path to the front door. I have two yellow Tabebuia saplings about 5 foot tall started from seed pods in the back yard I wish to use. My first Tab is now 20 something feet tall and spindle and looking not near as full as the more mature trees I see around town. My questions are as follows...(1) what if anything can I do to encourage more growth of branches and more flowering for both the mature tree as well as the two 5 foot saplings. (2) it is now the beginning of April with temps starting to hit 90degrees is it to late to transplant these trees even if I water them good every day? (3) what kind of fertilizer if any should I use, does Miracle Grow make anything that will promote the growth i am looking for? Thank you in advance for any and all help, these trees are so beautiful when they bloom I hope when the neighbors see them in all their glory they will want to put them in their front yards
as well.
