Delonix Decaryi
Delonix decaryi, commonly known as Decary's flamboyant or the Bottle Tree Flame Tree, is a striking and rare tree native to Madagascar. It is admired for its unique swollen trunk, feathery foliage, and vibrant red flowers. This tree is a true showstopper, adding a touch of tropical elegance to any landscape.
Appearance:
Trunk: The most distinctive feature of this tree is its massive, bottle-shaped trunk, which serves as a water storage organ, allowing it to thrive in the arid climates of Madagascar. The bark is smooth and gray, contrasting beautifully with the vibrant green foliage.
Leaves: Delicate, feathery leaves that create a lush canopy. The leaves are bipinnate, meaning they are divided twice, creating a fern-like appearance.
Flowers: During the flowering season, typically in late spring and summer, the tree produces clusters of large, showy, red flowers. These blooms create a spectacular display against the backdrop of the green foliage.
Growth Habits and Care:
Sunlight: Requires full sun exposure.
Soil: Thrives in well-draining soil.
Watering: Drought-tolerant once established; water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 190mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
