Grower's Notes:
Also called the Chinese Flame Tree. Considered a city tolerant tree due to tolerance to air pollution and ability to withstand drought, heat and alkaline soils. It also tolerates some salt spray but requires well-drained soil.

It would be hard to find a more adaptive yellow flowering tree for urban planting. It makes a nice patio tree, creating light shade. The tree has only a few branches when it is young - pruning to increase branching helps. Prune the tree early to space major branches along the trunk to create a strong branch structure, and the tree will be long lived and require little maintenance.
