Tabebuia aurea seed
LATIN NAME: Tabebuia aurea
COMMON NAME: Yellow Trumpet Tree
The yellow trumpet tree is the golden crown of the dry season, and the funnel-shaped, golden-yellow flowers open before the leaves. The tall, deciduous or semi-evergreen tree carries the digitate leaves of the five to seven narrow leaflets and the profusion of the large, funnel-shaped, golden-yellow flowers in the clusters through the warm season, one of the fine, bold sights of the tropical garden. The tree is a fine, generous presence of the warm avenue, and it is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The yellow trumpet tree is a bold subject of the plant science, and the golden crowns keep showing up in the work on the tropical flowering trees. The way the profusion of the flowers opens before the leaves has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the tropical flowering trees, the trumpet trees and the members of the trumpet-creeper family. The digitate leaves and the tall habit have also made it a fine study tree, and the yellow trumpet tree is a regular subject of the work on the golden crowns of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The yellow trumpet tree is a fine, bold tree of the warm avenue and the tropical garden. The profusion of the large, funnel-shaped, golden-yellow flowers opens through the warm season, one of the fine, bold sights of the tropical garden, drawing the bees and the hummingbirds of the warm lands, and the digitate leaves give the fine, open crown of the season. The tree stands the heat, the drought and the poor ground with the ease, and it is one of the fine choices for the warm avenue, the park and the study collection. It has been written about in the horticultural and the botanical papers for the golden crowns and the bold ways, and it is a fine, bold tree of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained garden.
Give the young tree the warm, sheltered spot for the first years, and the golden crown will come in the long run.
To grow the yellow trumpet tree from seed, sow the small, flat seeds just below the surface of a tray of fine seed compost, keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out after the last frosts. The seedlings show themselves within a few weeks and grow on fast. With the sun, the warmth and the deep, well-drained ground, the golden crown will rise through the years.
