Tabebuia palmeri, the pink trumpet tree, builds a broad, rounded crown that disappears beneath massed pink, bell-shaped trumpet flowers as the dry season closes, a display few flowering trees in the tropics can match. Out of flower it is a well-mannered shade tree with a clean deciduous habit.
In the landscape
A specimen, shade and street tree of proven performance in warm climates, with non-invasive roots that suit paved surrounds and boulevards. Plant it where the flowering canopy can stand alone, over lawn, at an entry, or as a repeated avenue rhythm at 8–10 m centres.
Growing notes
Thrives across tropical and subtropical Queensland into northern New South Wales, flowering most heavily where the season turns reliably dry. Grows in most soils in full sun, and tolerates moderate frost once established, coastal exposure and tropical heat. Deciduous, maturing at around 8–12 m tall with a comparable spread.
