Tabebuia Rosea

Tabebuia Rosea

Tabebuia Rosea is a genus of flowering plants in the Bignoniaceae family. Tabebuia is composed almost entirely of trees, but some are often large shrubs. It is native to the American tropics and subtropics, from Mexico and the Caribbean to Argentina.

It grows up to 30 m tall.

The leaves are compound, each leaf having five leaflets of varying sizes, the central one being the largest.

The flowers are large, in various shades of pink, and appear when the tree has no leaves or very few.

The long and slender fruit capsules can measure up to 35 cm.

When the drying fruit bursts, seeds with hyaline wing membranes are released.
