This is an African Tulip Tree in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA.
This is one of the smaller trees in Balboa Park, however, it is my
favorite African Tulip tree

I know these trees are a pest in the true tropics...n Hawaii they have naturalized in many areas and are considered a pest tree now.
I have seen these trees naturalizing in some of our neighborhoods...however, it would not naturalize like in the wet tropics. We just don't receive enough rain.

I have one of these as well Delonix - another common tree here in Queensland, always so bright and colourful but it is considered a pest because it grows so prolifically in the bush now.
