I just love this flowering tree!

This is my all time favorite spring flowering tree. It is known as the Golden Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia chrysotricha).  I grew the tree pictured below from seed years ago and it is the largest of the 4-5 trees I have planted.  They started blooming last week and should peak in the next few days. They are truly a show-stopper when they bloom, with masses of bright yellow blooms covering the entire tree.

This variety of Tabebuia reaches about 20-25 feet tall at maturity.  Here's a photo of my oldest tree which I would consider to be of mature size.  The azaleas planted below really compliment the bright yellow color.  To the left you can see a white dogwood tree just coming into bloom.  This is about as far south as you can successfully grow dogwoods in Florida and I'm fortunate to have several healthy specimens in my yard.

I just love spring!
