For growing Tabebuia bahamensis in pot in cold regions, it is very important to keep the plant well protected from extreme cold temperatures. Best way to ensure that is by bringing the pot inside the house for the winter or if it cannot be done then keeping it in more protected areas outdoors like garage or porch is recommended. Also, the pot should be insulated and well protected by covering the soil with mulch, burlap panels and other suitable materials. Furthermore, if the soil gets really dry, consider using overhead irrigation system to provide moisture. Lastly, make sure to fertilize your plants in spring and summer with slow-release fertilizer to encourage blooming and promote healthy foliage growth.

Tabebuia caraiba, Tabebuia argentea

This Tabebuia is one over 100 species with blooms starting near the first day of spring in South Florida. Its masses of yellow trumpet flowers catch everyones eye in season. The foliage is mostly deciduous. Some trees lose leaves prior to blooming while others can hold some of their old leaves while in flower. One good trick is to cut off all added water 6-8 weeks before spring. This will encourage leaf drop and produce a much heavier show of flowers. All Tabebuias in irrigated landscapes are poorer bloomers due to this excess water. The trunk and wood of this Tabebuia is also very interesting. This variety has brittle wood that breaks in strong winds, but the tree always comes back. Newly planted large field grown trees take several years to stabilize root strength, so strong storms can easily topple large, newly planted trees. Stand them up immediately. Use this tree for small spaces, in full sun, on well drained soil. The tree has no pests.
