Yellow Trumpet Tree, Tabebuia Flowering chrysantha

Tabebuia chrysantha, also called the yellow trumpet tree, drops all its foliage just before flowering in spring, so its blooms appear on bare branches. Choose it for that striking seasonal transformation. With no leaves surrounding the flowers, the branching outline becomes part of the display, giving this flowering tree its distinctive spring appearance.

Additional Details

The flowers are golden yellow and trumpet-shaped. Chrysantha is classified as semi-evergreen to semi-deciduous, a useful distinction when you’re choosing a tree for your yard and deciding whether continuous foliage or a seasonal flower display matters more to you.

Other Uses

The flowers attract bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, making chrysantha a useful choice when you want your planting to welcome wildlife as well as add color. It also provides wildlife habitat, serves as a honey tree for beekeepers, and works as either a street tree or an individual landscape specimen, giving it a place in both ornamental and wildlife-friendly plantings.
