{"title":"Trumpet Trees (Tabebuia)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrumpet trees are flowering trees from tropical America, known botanically as Tabebuia and Handroanthus. In late winter and spring they shed most of their leaves and cover the bare or near bare branches with clusters of trumpet shaped flowers in pink, mauve or brilliant yellow. They are among the showiest small to medium trees for subtropical and tropical gardens. Choose by flower colour, mature size and how warm your winters are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a trumpet tree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColour is the first decision. For pink, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pink-trumpet-tree-tabebuia-palmerii\"\u003ePalmeri Pink Trumpet Tree\u003c\/a\u003e is widely planted in Queensland gardens and streets, and flowers in pink to mauve on bare branches at the end of winter. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pink-trumpet-tree-tabebuia-rosea\"\u003eRosea Pink Trumpet Tree\u003c\/a\u003e is a larger tree that prefers tropical and warm subtropical conditions. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pink-trumpet-tree-tabebuia-heterophylla\"\u003eHeterophylla Pink Trumpet Tree\u003c\/a\u003e is another pink flowered species for warm gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor yellow, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/golden-trumpet-tree-handroanthus-chrysanthus\"\u003eGolden Trumpet Tree\u003c\/a\u003e puts on a short, intense display of golden yellow flowers in spring before the new leaves appear. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/silver-trumpet-tree-tabebuia-argentea\"\u003eSilver Trumpet Tree\u003c\/a\u003e also flowers yellow, and adds silvery grey leaves and corky, furrowed bark on a trunk that often grows with a natural lean, which gives it character as a feature tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdvanced field grown trumpet trees are also part of this range for gardens that need an established tree from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere trumpet trees grow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrumpet trees suit tropical and subtropical climates, and the hardier pink and golden kinds also grow in warm, frost free temperate areas. A dry, mild winter followed by a warm spring gives the heaviest flowering. Young trees are frost tender, so protect them for the first few winters in marginal areas. All need full sun. They handle heat well and, once established, cope with dry spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn gardens most stay small to medium, commonly six to ten metres, though Tabebuia rosea can grow taller in the tropics. They make fine lawn specimens and street trees. Compare them with other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flowering-trees\"\u003eflowering trees\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/feature-trees\"\u003efeature trees\u003c\/a\u003e, or see more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-for-subtropical-climates\"\u003eplants for subtropical climates\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in well drained soil. Trumpet trees dislike waterlogged ground, so raise the planting area in heavy clay. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and no deeper, set the tree at the same level it sat in the pot, backfill and water in well. Allow at least five to six metres between trees, and keep them a similar distance from buildings so the canopy can develop evenly. Stake young trees for the first year or two in windy sites, and mulch the root zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly for the first two summers while the roots establish. After that, water during long dry periods in the growing season and ease off in winter, because a drier rest before spring encourages flowering. Feed in spring after flowering with a slow release fertiliser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePruning needs are light. Shape young trees to a single leader and a clear trunk if you want a shade tree form, and remove crossing or damaged branches after flowering. Fallen flowers make a carpet of colour for a week or two and need no more than raking from paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen do trumpet trees flower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMostly from late winter to spring, on bare or nearly bare branches. The display is brief but heavy, and the timing shifts with the species and the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre trumpet trees deciduous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost drop their leaves, fully or partly, in the dry of late winter just before flowering, then leaf up again quickly in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo trumpet trees tolerate frost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung trees are frost tender. Established trees of the hardier kinds take the odd light frost, but these are trees for warm districts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long before a trumpet tree flowers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt varies with the species and the size planted.
