This is a yellow Coral Tree. Erythina is a very common tree planted usually along freeways and in parks. There are many species grown here usually having scarlet, orange and yellow flower that mostly bloom in winter through spring. Some species do bloom in summer though. They are pretty dangerous trees to grow in the home landscape even though it is grown frequently there. They have very large thorns all over the tree and the branches break very easily in the wind...damaging anything underneath them.
