Tabebuia impetiginosa (Pink Tabebuia)

Tabebuia impetiginosa, commonly known as Pink Lapacho or Pau d'Arco, is a deciduous tree in the Bignoniaceae family native to Central and South America. It typically grows 20 to 40 ft tall, forming a broad, spreading crown with palmately compound leaves. The tree produces large, trumpet-shaped flowers in vivid pink to magenta shades, often appearing on bare branches in late winter to early spring, creating a striking display before new foliage emerges.

This species prefers full sun and well-drained soil, with moderate watering during establishment and good drought tolerance once mature. Growth rate is moderate. Cold tolerance is limited, with damage likely below about 30F; best suited to USDA Zones 9 to 11. Tabebuia impetiginosa is widely used as an ornamental flowering tree in warm climates and can be grown in large containers when young.
