The flame tree, also known as royal poinciana (Delonix regia), is a fast-growing evergreen tree that features an abundance of crimson blossoms. This African native is a favorite in many tropical and subtropical locations; however, it requires a large space away from buildings to accommodate its expansive root system. The foliage on this species is a bipinnately compound, meaning that each leaf consists of up to 25 pairs of leaflets, and each of those leaflets is further divided into up to 25 more pairs of leaflets. This tree is renowned worldwide for its clusters of exquisite red flowers that blanket the tree in the warm summer months. Each of the five petals is reddish-orange or scarlet. One petal is bigger than the others and has yellow and white markings. The fruit is a seed pod that can be over a foot long. Plant a flame tree in a location where it has enough space to grow. Not only can this variety of tree reach up to 40 feet, but it can also spread between 40 and 70 feet wide. It can be damaging if not planted in the proper area. Keep the plant away from walls, pavement, or anything else it might overtake.
