Delonix regia - (Flame Tree / Royal Poinciana / Flamboyant Tree)

 

A deciduous tree endemic to Madagascar, eventually growing to a height of around 20-30 feet within open ground, although staying much smaller if grown as a bonsai: 2-3 ft tall, or eventually up to 6-8 ft within a large pot

 

Beautiful, fern-like foliage composed of bright-green leaflets – very attractive even when not in flower or in leaf

 

The tree produces a vibrant red and long-lasting flowering display from April to August

 

The trees are easy to keep small (if desired) with pruning.  These trees flower fairly young

 

Makes an excellent bonsai tree as the roots are very shallow and it is easily dwarfed

 

Frost tender and needs to be kept above 7°C

 

Please note: full germination instructions are printed on each pack

Viable seeds, easy to germinate

Two out of three seeds germinated in just two weeks! I sowed the third one a bit deeper, so may need to wait a bit longer to observe germination! Very happy with the product!
