Tree Information: Also known as flame or flamboyant tree, royal poinciana (Delonix regia) is a semi-evergreen or deciduous member of the bean family characterized by fernlike, lacy green leaves, scores of spoon-shaped, brilliant red flowers and brown pods that make a rattling sound when wind goes through the tree. Royal poinciana is a tropical tree that will not thrive if temperatures drop below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a suitable landscape tree for gardeners who can offer it a bright, full-sun location in U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 10 to 12. When grown in proper conditions, royal poinciana requires relatively little care.Water the poinciana regularly with a garden hose after initial planting to help the tree establish a deep, healthy root system. Once royal poinciana is established, supplemental watering is usually necessary only during dry periods. Avoid over watering, because the tree is susceptible to root rot if left in standing water. It generally does not require much supplemental watering in the winter, only water if soil becomes bone dry.
