Zone 10

A nice easy going semi-deciduous tree now considered native (probably Cuban or Central American origin).  Delicate foliage, fast growing and may reach 50 feet.  Arching branches form an umbrella canopy well suited to provide you with shade

Nice orange colored blooms in summer.  Young leaves show red before turning green

Water to establish when young then probably natural rainfall will be enough

On the list of Florida butterfly plants
