Description

This beautiful tree slowly reaches 20'-30' tall and slightly wider, with a spreading habit. Fragrant yellow flowers bloom in summer, followed by pink colored seed capsules. Green foliage turns yellow in fall before dropping leaves. Chinese Flame Tree prefers full sun and moderate amount of watering, more in hot summer months. This is a great street tree as roots are not invasive.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
