Tipuana tipu (Tipu Tree)

This broad, flat-topped, medium-sized tree bears compound leaves and produces a bright yellow flower which attracts bees. The flowers are followed by a showy samara type of fruits. This semi-evergreen tree is best suited into areas where wet and dry seasons are changing.  Tipuana adapts to many soil types.
