Delonix regia Royal Poinciana Flame Tree

We are pleased to bring to you this native of Madagascar that is thought to be one of the top 5 most beautiful flowering trees in the world. We think it may be the most colorful flowering tree in the world as well. A perfect tropical that will do nicely as a standard from zone 9+ or grow as a deck or tropical. The small fern-like leave would make it a most unique bonsai specimen as well and will produce blooms as a bonsai at seven inches tall and about 2-3 years old.
