It time for an update on my baby Red Flower Royal Poinciana Tree (Delonix regia). If you want to read my previous posts on this tree then Click Here. I planted this tree April 25, 2009. That was almost 4 months ago. There has been substantial growth since then. Here are some pictures of my Red Flower Royal Poinciana Tree ( Delonix regia ).
These first two shots are from last night. The leaves fold up at night and when it rains.
The last three I took today.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. See you again next time!!

Today I would like to introduce my favorite tree into my yard. My favorite tree is the Red Flowered Royal Poinciana Tree (Delonix regia). This Magnificent Tree is also known as the Flamboyant Tree, Flame Tree, Peacock Flower and Gulmohar. This Tree grows rather fast up to heights of 20'to 30'feet tall and should be spaced 12' to 15' feet apart. The Royal Poinciana Tree grows best in full sun exposure with regular watering until the tree is established.Once the Tree is established it prefers somewhat of a drought during the winter months. I have heard that they will not bloom in pots. When I see these beautiful Trees I am reminded of Japanese Bonsai Trees. They look the same only they are much bigger. Here are some pictures of my Flame Tree.
This is a picture of the seed pod.
Here is the batch of beautiful looking sprouts.
Nice close up.
And here is the planted Peacock Flower Tree at about 10" tall.
I hope you enjoyed this post. See you again next time!

Back on August 1st 2008, I placed 11 Red Flowered Royal Poinciana ( Delonix regia ) seeds in a pot. 1o out of the 11 have sprouted! I am very excited about these sprouts because this is one of my favorite tree of all.
The Royal Poinciana Tree can grow to heights of 20-30 feet tall and should be spaced anywhere from 12-15 feet apart. The Royal Poinciana Tree enjoys full sun exposure and is drought tolerant making it ideal for xeriscaping.
The following are my pictures from seed pod to sprouts.

Here is one of my favorite pictures. This picture is of a Royal Poinciana Tree that is growing at Heathcote Botanical Gardens of Fort Pierce Florida. I like this picture so much because it has all of my favorites in one shot. The Royal Poinciana Tree ( Delonix regia ) ties for favorite with the Screw Pine ( Pandanas utilis ). The Royal Poinciana Tree is also known as the Flame Tree or the Peacock Flower. The Screw Pine Tree is located at the top right of the picture. Also in the background you can see several other Palm Trees. On the left side is a nice clump of Phoenix reclinata's or African Wild Date Palms . In the back on the right side looks to be a Sable Palm Tree. I hope you like this picture as much as I do!
