I am having trouble identifying this tree. It was about the size of a Crabapple (for the temparte gardeners). Growing in Davie, Florida (just west of Fort Lauderdale). Chris
I suspect it may be Butea monosperma. Compare with pics on this page of Top Tropicals' website. http://toptropicals.com/html/toptro...mPerPage=20&NumPerLine=4&listonly=0&first=960
TonyR thanks for the link. Butea monosperma is definitely the tree. I noticed that it has a synonym of Erythrina monosperma but when I looked up Erythrina I couldn't find this tree. Very showy little tree that has a strange habit and wonderful flowers.
