Golden Trumpet Tree

Golden Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia Chrysantha)

This tree was a mess when we moved in but I pruned it quite heavily to get a nicer shape. We had no idea what it was until March 2009 when suddenly all the leaves fell off and it came out in a stunning yellow bloom.

The Golden Trumpet tree ( Tabebuia Chrysantha)goes bya number of other names including the Golden Tree, Golden Goddess, Araguaney or Yellow Ipê in native South America and Luang India in Thai. It is the national tree of Venezuela.
