A small tree of a pure gold. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

⭐️ A small tree of a pure gold

  • 😊 Earlier we showed the video of Pink Tabebuia Tree 💗

    • Here is her golden sister in full bloom: Tabebuia chrysotricha - Dwarf Golden Tabebuia.

  • 😊 These trees are flowering now in Florida. It's a breathtaking view!

  • 😊 The Dwarf Golden Tabebuia is a small, striking tree ideal for container culture or small gardens. With its sparse crown and compact size, this tree is perfect for patios or yards where space is limited.

  • 😊 In late winter to spring, when the tree is leafless, it bursts into a stunning display of bright yellow flowers that can bloom over several weeks.

  • 😊 It's also impressively cold-hardy, able to withstand temperatures as low as 26F for a few hours.

  • 😊 Whether as a focal point or accent plant, the Dwarf Golden Tabebuia adds a touch of vibrant color to any Southern landscape.

  • 😊 Perfect candidate for container culture.
