Yellow Poinciana 25G

Yellow Poinciana in 25-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, Fl.

Bright, cheerful, and full of tropical flair—the Yellow Poinciana (Peltophorum pterocarpum), also known as the Yellow Flame Tree, in a 25-gallon pot is a stunning addition to South Florida landscapes. With sunny yellow blooms, feathery foliage, and a broad, spreading canopy, this flowering tree brings warmth and elegance to any sunny garden or driveway border.

Smaller than its red cousin (Delonix regia), the Yellow Poinciana is just as showy and even more versatile—making it a favorite for medium-sized landscapes looking for year-round beauty and seasonal bloom bursts.

Care & Growing Info (Perfect for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun. Needs at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for vigorous growth and prolific flowering. Loves South Florida’s bright, tropical exposure.

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once mature, it becomes moderately drought-tolerant and handles dry spells with ease.

• Soil: Adapts to most well-drained soils—from sandy to loamy. Tolerates coastal conditions, making it ideal for South Florida’s varied landscapes.

• Fertilizer: Feed in spring and early summer with a balanced tree fertilizer to encourage lush foliage and healthy blooms.

• Growth Habit: Upright and spreading with fern-like leaves and sprays of golden-yellow flowers. In a 25-gallon pot, expect a well-formed tree around 5–7 feet tall, ready to be planted in-ground or showcased in large container settings.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 10–11. Loves South Florida heat and sun. Protect from frost when young.

• Maintenance: Low to moderate. Prune to shape in late winter or early spring. Leaf drop in dry seasons is natural and followed by new flushes of foliage.

Ideal For:

• Tropical and subtropical gardens

• Driveways, front yards, or focal-point planting

• Bloom-forward designs with golden color
