What is This Tree (Mexico)?

RE: What is This Tree (Mexico)? Post By ammu (Guest Post) (09/20/2007) hey its a Gulmohar (thats what its called in India) we have two at our place! RE: What is This Tree (Mexico)? Post By priyanka (Guest Post) (09/17/2007) The tree is Delonix Regia or the Royal Poinciana or Gulmohar as is known in India. Here it is very commonly grown as a street tree. RE: What is This Tree (Mexico)? Post By Beth (Guest Post) (09/13/2007) Definitely a Red Royal Poinciana. I should have some seeds next spring. I have this and a purple one I grew from seed. They are fast growing and quite hardy if they don't freeze. Mine are both around 16 - 19 feet and grew this big from seed in 6 years. If you want seeds, let me know and I will send you some when they produce the pods. I also have seed pods for another beautiful red flowering tree I have not been able to identify and I can include them also. Let me know.

Post By Sharon from Bonita Springs (Guest Post) (09/12/2007) It looks like a Royal Poinciana. RE: What is This Tree (Mexico)? Post By Pat (Guest Post) (09/11/2007) I live in Belize and this looks like the "Pride of Barbados" bush we have here. It would also be in Mexico. RE: What is This Tree (Mexico)? Post By pam2cats (Guest Post) (09/11/2007) I live in RI. It looks just like trees we have here only flowers are pink. Anyway, we just call them Mimosa. I have kept some of the pods and I'm trying to figure out how to start one in a pot for indoors. I did find a little one started by a big bush sized one (the other I have is full sized tree) but it turned out to be a "sucker" attached to trunk and couldn't be saved. Not much help. But they are very beautiful. RE: What is This Tree (Mexico)?

Post By Kerry (Guest Post) (09/11/2007) Looks like a poinciana, similar to a mimosa and jacaranda.
