Caixeta: Awesome! Thanks for posting those pictures. Can hardly wait to see blooms on the one I have... but it'll take years to get as large as yours! :unsure:

If the plant sees anything under 40 while in bud, the cold will destroy the flowers. Two years in a row mine was developing close to 100 flowers and we had an unseasonably late cold snap. Plant can take cold, the flowers can’t and it is an early spring flowering tree.

Wow! That must have been so disappointing to have all those flowers developing and then be hit with a cold snap. :wacko:

I'd be happy to get a half dozen. I move the plant into my sunroom each winter, along with my Delonix and other tender subtropicals.

Oh yeah, it was painful to watch! That’s great you have a sunroom to protect it. Flowers are amazing.

As Len said, under 40d and the buds seem to drop off here in Socal.  Here are a couple flowers that came later in the season
