Royal Poinciana seeds (Delonix regia), also known as the Flame Tree or Flamboyant Tree, is one of the most striking and beautiful tropical flowering trees πΊ. Native to Madagascar, it is admired worldwide for its vivid, dramatic flowers that range from bright red to orange and yellow, contrasted by its lush green, feathery foliage πΏ. This stunning tree is often used in ornamental landscapes, parks, and tropical gardens, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits as a shade tree π³.
Royal Poinciana can grow 5β12 meters in height and has a broad canopy that provides excellent shade π. Its ferny, doubly pinnate leaves can grow 30β50 cm long, adding a soft, delicate appearance to the tree's structure. The tree's distinctive flamboyant flowers bloom in corymbs along the branch ends, with four scarlet petals and a larger, upright fifth petal (the standard) that is often spotted with yellow and white πΈ. These bold, colorful blooms make this tree a focal point in any garden or landscape.
The pods of the Royal Poinciana are initially green, then ripen to a dark brown, woody state and contain small seeds, around 0.4 grams each. A variety with yellow flowers (called flavida) is also grown πΏ. This tree not only provides visual appeal but also serves as a natural shelter in tropical climates due to its wide canopy π.
The Royal Poinciana is deeply ingrained in the culture of many countries π. In Kerala, India, the treeβs red flowers are associated with the crucifixion of Jesus and are referred to as Kaalvarippoo, meaning the flower of Calvary πΈ. It is also known as Gulmohar or Krishnachura in India and Phượng vΔ© (Phoenixβs Tail) in Vietnam. While the species is endangered in the wild, it has been widely cultivated across tropical and subtropical regions due to its ornamental and shade-providing qualities.
Sowing & Germination:
To propagate, soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours or use scissors to nick the hard seed coat πβοΈ. This helps the seeds absorb moisture and accelerates germination.
Plant in moist, semi-shaded soil for best results π±. Germination is rapid, with seedlings reaching 30 cm in a few weeks.
Alternatively, semi-hardwood cuttings can be used for propagation, though they take longer to root πΏ.
Growing Conditions:
Royal Poinciana grows best in warm tropical climates and prefers well-drained soil ππ.
It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade π€οΈ. Ensure regular watering, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot π§.
This tree adapts well to urban environments, making it a popular choice for landscaping in cities and parks π³ποΈ.
Pruning & Maintenance:
To maintain a beautiful shape and promote healthy growth, prune the tree lightly during its growing season π±βοΈ.
Fertilize during the growing season for optimal blooming and foliage development πΌ.
Royal Poinciana is an incredibly vibrant tree that will transform your garden into a tropical paradise π΄.
