Delonix regia "poinciana" (Delonix regia)

This Poinciana is growing in our township. It grows short with a spreading canopy . In our block these trees have to grow up amongst rainforest trees therefore they grow very tall. the herald in the summer .A glorious tree

This tree does not grow true to seed , it has huge long flat seed pods .THERE ARE MANY SHADES FROM DEEP PINK THROUGH THE ORANGY COLOURS TO DEEP RED WHICH I have been after for a long time . I PLANTED DEEP RED SEEDS BUT GOT ORANGY RED FLOWERS.

I wish mine would grow that shape ,Ours they reach for the sun between rainforest trees.

Pitta:

Delonix regia - Royal Poinciana loves extremely bright
hot sun...they flourish in it. In shadier areas they
would definitely elongate and reach for the sun.

I grow Cassia fistula which does the same , reaches for the sun ,while in the town they grow shorter..

Pitta:

Yes, they are the same...they love the very hot sun.
