Description

The listing, African Tulip Tree has ended.

Native to equatorial Africa, the African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata) is a popular ornamental shade tree, prized for its orange-red tulip-shaped blossoms. Commonly known as flame-of-the-forest, Indian cedar, scarlet bell tree, fountain tree, flame tree or Santo Dominga mahogany, the disease-resistant African tulip tree is ever-blooming, with shiny, dark green pinnate leaves. Easily grown from seed, these tropical trees grow best in warm and moist conditions. African tulip trees grow well outdoors but. In cooler areas, African tulip trees are best grown in containers that can be moved indoors when the temperature drops.

I am assuming these do not winter outside in Illinois? The picture above of the tree shows a large one. If potted in colder states, is it successfully pruned and remain attractive?

You are correct, they will not stand the freezing temp. I also live in Illinois and started mine In a pot so that in the winter I can bring it indoors.
