Pink Trumpet Tree - Handroanthus impetiginosus
Handroanthus impetiginosus drops its leaves in late winter and then covers itself completely in magenta pink trumpets on bare wood, so for several weeks the tree is nothing but flower against sky. That leafless flowering is the reason it is planted: no evergreen can produce the same effect, and few deciduous trees flower with this intensity in a warm climate. It is a moderate sized shade tree the rest of the year, well suited to Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and coastal Queensland gardens.
Why the Pink Trumpet Tree
Leafless bloom: The flush comes on bare branches in late winter and early spring, with nothing green to dilute the colour.
Warm climate deciduous: It gives genuine seasonal change in subtropical gardens where most deciduous trees perform poorly.
Manageable scale: At 8 to 12m in cultivation it suits a suburban block far better than a fig or a poinciana.
Drought hardiness: Once established it copes with dry spells and reflected heat from paving and driveways.
Open canopy: Light, filtered shade means lawn and understorey planting still grow underneath.
Ideal Applications
Front garden feature: A single tree set on a lawn or in a wide bed carries the whole street frontage in flowering season.
Street and driveway avenue: Planted in a repeated line the simultaneous bloom is one of the strongest effects available in warm climate design.
Courtyard shade: Its open head cools an outdoor living area in summer and lets winter sun through once the leaves fall.
Parkland grouping: Planted in threes or fives across an acreage entrance it reads at distance and from the road.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): Not a screening plant. Allow 5 to 6m between trees in an informal group
Spacing (feature/avenue): 6 to 8m centres for an avenue, and at least 4m from buildings and paving
Best Planting Season: Spring through to early autumn in frost free districts, while soil is warm
Soil & Drainage: Free draining soil of average fertility. It tolerates sandy and gravelly ground and dislikes heavy wet clay
Establishment Care: Water deeply once or twice a week through the first two warm seasons, then taper off as the tree becomes self reliant. Mulch to 75mm to hold soil moisture and suppress competition, and shelter young trees from frost in cooler districts until the trunk has hardened.
