Introducing the Handroanthus chrysanthus, also known as the Golden Trumpet Tree or Roble Amarillo! This tree is perfect for those who want a rustic addition to their garden or landscape. It is a deciduous tree that can handle hard, dry, or poor soils, but make sure to provide it with well-drained terrain. The tree reaches a height of 6 to 12 meters and has opposite and petiolate leaves in elliptic and lanceolate shapes with pinnate venation. The large, tubular-shaped flowers have a broadening corolla of deep yellow color and are about 2 inches long. They appear from February to April before the tree has grown back any leaves. The tree's fruit is a dehiscent capsule that often matures by the end of the dry season. The Handroanthus chrysanthus is a slow-growing but long-lasting tree that blooms and fruits during the dry season when it can efficiently manage moisture. If the raining season is delayed, it may flower and fruit mildly a second time. This tree is perfect for avid gardeners who want to experiment with unique trees that are highly resilient and require little maintenance.
