Here in Vero Beach, they aren't totally hardy. One of the ornamental plants you expect to lose periodically.

Poincianas seem to like humid heat. At least they thrive around the Caribbean. Wonder what their climate in Madagascar might be?

Fla. climate center: 100-119 days>85 F
USDA 1990 hardiness zone 9B
Current USDA hardiness zone 10a
4 km inland from Indian River; 27º N (equivalent to Brisbane)

Central Orlando's urban heat island may be warmer than us

Dave,

What great photos! Thanks so much for posting them. What is the nearset cross street to the tree on College?

Here's a recent photo of my 5 year old Delonix regia down here in south Orange County. Its been in the ground 2 winters. Your photos give me hope! Are you trying one at your home?

Thanks!

I wish we could take them for granted like you guys can.

This year we had a VERY dry winter; usually they don't bloom at all, or just a blossom or two. One nice thing about the drought, I guess . . . .

They grow well enough, though that specimen took a hard hit in the freeze. Basically use it the way you'd use a Jacaranda that won't bloom (most of the time) . . . .

Great filtered shade, and relatively drought tolerant.

That is great Dave. My Delonix pictured below is 15 feet tall and survived some tough winters and a harsh fire. I don't know at what age or size they need to be before they bloom for the first time, but hopefully it will be soon.

Hello All:

I have posted new pictures in a Photobucket album of San Diego-- D. regia trees in bloom. I have

taken pictures of the D. regia trees known to me over the last two summers. I will try to set

up a link. If for some reason I can set-up the link, it is located in Photobucket.com user name:

andyplantman and password: plumeria (lower case).

My friend e-mailed me a picture of the old large D. regia at Fullerton Arboretum (There are two beautiful blooming trees there).

The tree is in full-bloom. It looks like a tree that would be blooming in Honolulu, HI or Miami, Fl. I am from Honolulu

and have seen the trees blooming there, however, I have never been to Miami, Fl. although I've seen pictures...Spectacular!!!

I would love to post the picture, although I don't think I have the right. It was posted on Broad Leaf Tropicals.

I found palms1984's album on photobucket but I can't view it without a password so I think that means it's private, not public. Palms1984 don't tease us so!!!! :P
