Want to plant a tree with Great Color?

I had the great pleasure of meeting a customer who has spent over 40 years growing Landscaping plants in Mississippi, Very interesting and knowledable man who found a tree from Mandagascar that can be grown easly in his state and add great color and shade for his Landscaping customers. Royal Poinciana, Delonix Rega. Also know as Famboyant tree, Flame Tree and Blue Bell. It is a fast growing tree that fills with blosoms spring and summer and reaches 15-30 ft. This tree is a very fast grower and doesn't do well in sever cold, winter kill can accure. Although I live in Colorado East of the Rockies and do have sever winter cold I am going to try and get my hands on one of these trees and perhaps if kept in a protected area I will be able to get one to grow and bloom for me. It is my understanding that this is a popular tree in Japan, so perhaps a protected Japanese Garden would be a good thing for it. After being told how absolutely Beautiful this tree is I have to try and make a go of one in my Yard somehow.Will let you know when I find one, may have to order from my friend in Mississippi.Theresa Saldivia


Materials should be not prone

Materials should be not prone to some insects. And plus, climate must be perfect for these trees.

Tree From Madagascar for color!

Do you know why those trees grow in Madagascar?  Because Madagascar has the right climate for it.  We have enough trouble just getting the native plants to survive in our climate (zone 2).  I would suggest you get a Colorado Blue Spruce instead.  Granted, it won't be as colorful, but at least it will have a chance!
