I have a tabebuia and half of it never lost its leafs the other half I thought was dead and I was about to cut it off it was the biggest part of the tree and I was debating editing it then just at the end of August the leafs came out and it looks fine!! What’s the deal with that we have had hellish weather this summer 110 degrees and better and it leafs out!!

The yellow tabuia I take it you have there. They go deciduous in my cool winter. Actually they are super cold tolerant. Fast growing and very pretty in flower. I had to eliminate my ones in the garden, one big mess of seeds by the thousands that germinated every where, and once they get that tap root in they are pretty hard to kill by pulling them out. In the end I had to use a herbicide, with a tap root that’s at least 2 feet long on small seedlings. Very pretty tree but not for my garden anymore.

That is Handroanthus ( Yours pictured appears to be the large form of H. impetiginosus that is sold in 99.9% of the nurseries here ) ..One of several, former Tabebuia species no longer a member of that genus. ..doing that thing they do sometimes here.

Have a small H. impetiginosus ..One of it's shorter, regional varieties that has been a pot for years.

Gets blasted by mid / afternoon sun, esp. this time of year ..and is green as can be. ..Will hold off leafing out after briefly dropping old leaves in Feb or March, until it gets hot.
