Pink Tabebuia Tree 25G

Pink Tabebuia Tree – Tabebuia heterophylla (25 Gallon Pot) available in Jupiter, FL.

A springtime spectacle and landscape favorite across South Florida, the Pink Tabebuia Tree (Tabebuia heterophylla) brings a burst of romantic color and graceful structure to any property. This 25-gallon specimen is ready for installation as a standout ornamental in front yards, along driveways, or as a blooming street tree.

Native to the Caribbean and thriving in tropical to subtropical climates, the Pink Trumpet Tree is part of the Bignoniaceaefamily and the Magnoliopsida class. From late winter through spring, it erupts in a cloud of soft pink to lavender trumpet-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and pollinators. After blooming, it produces slender seed pods while its semi-evergreen foliage offers shade and structure.

This tree’s upright form, moderate size, and non-aggressive roots make it ideal for both residential and commercial spaces in South Florida.

Key Features:

• Botanical Name: Tabebuia heterophylla

• Common Names: Pink Trumpet Tree, Pink Tabebuia

• Family: Bignoniaceae

• Class: Magnoliopsida

• Pot Size: 25 Gallon

• Mature Height: 25–35 feet

• Spread: 20–30 feet

Sunlight Needs:

Requires full sun for best flowering. Plant in an open area with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure healthy growth and maximum bloom production.

Watering Requirements:

Moderate water needs. Water regularly until the tree is established (approximately 6–12 months). After that, the Pink Tabebuia is relatively drought-tolerant, though it benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells.

Soil Preferences:

Prefers well-draining soil—sandy, loamy, or slightly rocky soils are all acceptable. Tolerates a range of pH conditions and thrives in the naturally sandy soils found across South Florida.

Fertilization:

Fertilize 2–3 times per year with a balanced tree fertilizer. A spring feeding after flowering helps replenish nutrients and support healthy foliage. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent excessive leafy growth at the expense of blooms.

Pest & Disease Tips:

Generally low-maintenance and disease-resistant. Watch for minor leaf spot or aphids in wetter conditions. Maintain good airflow and avoid overwatering to reduce risk of fungal issues.

Maintenance & Pruning:

Minimal pruning needed. Shape lightly in late spring after blooming if necessary. Remove any crossing or lower branches to encourage a clean canopy. Prune when young to encourage strong structure and upright form.
