Tabebuia's of Bangalore - RA - Tabebuia impetiginosa - Rose Trumpet Tree

[raman]

Beautiful blooming trees, the Tabebuias are small, 15 to 25-foot tall, evergreen trees with silvery foliage and deeply furrowed, silvery bark on picturesque, contorted branches and trunk. The crown is usually asymmetrical with two or three major trunks or branches dominating the crown. The leaves are narrow and elongated, an identifying feature of the tree. Sporadically throughout the year, they put on a brilliant display composed of a multitude of two to three-inch-long, golden yellow, trumpet-shaped blooms borne in terminal flower clusters. The leaves often drop just before the flowers appear. Even without the flowers this Tabebuia is a magnificent tree with its crooked trunk, corky bark, and silvery leaves. This Tabebuia is very easy to grow and bloom and its only drawback is its soft wood, making it very susceptible to damage during strong winds. Tabebuia caraiba can be also be grown in containers, specially small ones, which eventually can turn the tree into a large bonsai specimen.

The correct name from GRIN is
Handroanthus impetiginosus
Syn Tabebuia impetiginosa
Syn. Tabebuia avellanedae
Really a beautiful tree to watch when flowering.
It is often difficult to to differentiate Tabebuia impetiginosa from Tabebuia rosea.
My observation in Pune.
T.impetiginosa flowers in two bouts one in Nov. and second time in Dec with a gap of 2-3 weeks. T. rosea flowers later in Jan-Feb
T.impetiginosa flowers in a massive scale on a leafless tree which is not the case with T.rosea with some leaves often visible on the tree when in flower which are paler.

Thanks, Bimal ji.

Tabebuia avellanedae Lorentz ex Griseb. is a syn. of Handroanthus impetiginosus, which is different from Tabebuia heterophylla
