Tabebuia aurea (Caribbean Trumpet Tree, )

Trumpet tree is a cold tender plant with an amazing late winter or spring yellow flowering. The flowers are grown in a huge cluster followed by a dark brown seed pod. It defoliates fully again shortly after bloom.  The compound, hand-shaped, green or silver-green leaves have five to seven oblong leaflets. The tree grows in full sun in acidic to slightly alkaline soil. Drought and salt tolerant. Reduce watering in order to defoliate leaves in the winter. Can be grown as a street tree for narrow location.
