In English it is given the name Royal Poinciana or Flamboyant. It is also one of several trees known as Flame tree. In India it is known as Gulmohar in Hindi.
Planting & Care
The flamboyant tree goes by many names, including the flame tree, royal poinciana tree, and its Latin name of Delonix regia. The flamboyant tree grows a profusion of blooms in shades of fiery red, pink, and orange with soft-leaved branches that resemble ferns. The large flat seedpods look like snow peas on a grand scale. These pods house the large seeds needed to grow new trees.
Sunlight: Full Sun
Soil: well-drained soil
Water: medium
Temprature: 45ºF (7.2ºC).
Fertilizer: Apply any organic fertilizer
Care:
- The flamboyant tree is a tropical plant that grows best outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 11 and 12, but can survive in conditions as low as hardiness zone 9b.
- If you live in a zone outside of these areas, you can grow one of these trees inside your house.
- The trees grow quickly and reach around 40 feet tall and 60 feet wide when mature.
- When growing them inside your home, it is best to grow them as bonsai trees to keep them within scale.
Care:
- Delonix regia, commonly called Royal Poinciana, requires full sun and daily watering for fullest flowering and is drought tolerant but not salt tolerant.
- The tree grows in a wide range of well-drained acidic or alkaline soils, including clay, sand and loam.
Special Feature:
some say the world s most colorful tree. For several weeks in spring and summer it is covered with exuberant clusters of flame-red flowers, 4-5 in across. Even up close the individual flowers are striking: they have four spoon shaped spreading scarlet or orange-red petals about 3 in long, and one upright slightly larger petal (the standard) which is marked with yellow and white
