Tabebuia rosea, pink trumpet tree, grown root-balled for export in Thailand

Tabebuia rosea

Pink trumpet tree · Bignoniaceae · Deciduous flowering tree
Synonym: Handroanthus roseus

Flowers on bare branches in a short, complete flush — the whole crown turns pink at once, then finishes. One of the few tropical trees that gives a temperate-style blossom moment, and it is specified for exactly that effect.

Landscape use

Boulevards, entrance avenues, plazas and civic planting. It carries a narrower crown than most flowering trees here, so it works in tighter streets where a spreading species would not.

The flowering is concentrated into a short, complete flush, which is precisely its appeal — a marked moment in the year that a scheme can be designed around. Plant it where that event will be seen.
