Description
Royal poinciana, so named because it used to be in the genus Poinciana, is a flamboyant tree in flower - some say the world's most colourful tree. For several weeks in spring and summer it is covered with exuberant clusters of flame-red flowers, 1.2-12.7 cm across. Even up close the individual flowers are striking: they have four spoon shaped spreading scarlet or orange-red petals about 7.6 cm long, and one upright slightly larger petal which is marked with yellow and white. Royal poinciana gets 9.1-12.2 m tall, but its elegant wide-spreading umbrella-like canopy can be wider than its height. Royal poinciana is deciduous in climates that have a marked dry season. Even the leaves are elegant, lacy and fernlike. Location
Royal poinciana is native to Madagascar. 
Usage
Royal poinciana is a spectacular shade tree in tropical climates. As a free standing specimen tree, it has no peers. Picture this beauty framed by a cluster of coconut palms! Royal poinciana tolerates salty conditions and can be grown near the coast, but not in openly exposed beach conditions. Royal poinciana tolerates hard pruning and can be kept at a small size, and even grown in the greenhouse. Royal poinciana has shallow, wide-spreading roots that will not allow underplanting and the roots can be a threat to building foundations and sidewalks. This is all good for those who want to grow this magnificent tree as a Bonsai or a feature tree in a relatively large garden. Features
Royal poinciana puts on its riotous show over a long season in spring and summer. Even if it never bloomed, it would still be one of the most beautiful trees in the world with its graceful live oak-like form, sculptured Ficus-like surface roots, and lacy fernlike foliage. Virtually everyone falls in love with this tree at first sight. It is so loved in Miami that they have an annual festival to celebrate its flowering.
