Spathodea campanulata - African Tulip Tree Blooming (Spathodea campanulata - African Tulip Tree)

African Tulip tree blooming in the Hillcrest District of San Diego, CA. Photo taken August 14, 2010. I've seen African Tulip trees bloom every month of the year here in San Diego, however, their heaviest flowering occurs from April - November.

Camillia:

African Tulip tree is native to the deep wet tropics of the Congo region of Africa. It should do extremely well there in your tropical climate.

African Tulip trees do very well here and are common -- and we have a dry subtropical climate.

It will grow and flower well in a 15 or 20 gallon pot.
