The tabebuia tree or shrub is native to the American tropics and subtropics from Mexico and the Caribbean as far south as Argentina. Most of the species are from Cuba and Hispaniola. They are evergreen in the tropics and deciduous in dry climates.

If the gashes just appeard on the tree it could be an issue with the bark splitting on the tree. I have found a PDF file to help you out. In your case it says to not try and paint the split or add tar. They have another way for you to try and help the tree repair the split.
