Bright, bold, and bursting with golden blooms—the Yellow Tabebuia Tree (Tabebuia caraiba or Handroanthus chrysotrichus, depending on variety) is a beloved spring-flowering tree in South Florida landscapes. Also known as the Golden Trumpet Tree, this standard form (single-trunked) tree puts on a jaw-dropping display of brilliant yellow blossoms—often before a single leaf appears—creating a dramatic and unforgettable seasonal moment. Fast-growing, drought-tolerant, and pollinator-friendly, it’s an excellent choice for color, elegance, and ecological impact.
