Ipe Tree - Tabebuia impetiginosa

Wow! I can't recall ever seeing a large tree with so much flowering color. Beautiful!

These four trees are about 40 feet tall with a spread of around 30 feet or so.
They actually can get larger than this, up to 60 feet or more in a real tropical climate.

These trees were introduced into California to the Los Angeles Arboretum in the early sixties from what I've read...and now they are common. I hear they are very easy to grow from cuttings.

Just love the colour of these and when planted together like this, they really make an impact!

they make quite an impact against that blue sky dont they!
