Description

This deciduous tree grows rapidly to 15'-25' high and wide, producing long, pointed, deep green leaves. Upon these leaves grow the pale pink, trumpet-shaped flowers with yellow throats. From spring through fall, these flowers appear in showy clusters. Grayish white bark is attractive and prominent during winter. Birds and hummingbirds love this tree. It is usually multi-trunked. It does best in full sun and becomes drought tolerant when established. It does not tolerate coastal areas.
