Spathodea campanulata, the African Tulip Tree, is a fast-growing evergreen known for its spectacular display of large, bell-shaped orange-red flowers. It features a rounded, spreading crown with lush, pinnate compound leaves that provide dense shade. While it thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soils, it can tolerate partial shade. Often used as an ornamental or street tree in tropical climates, its brittle wood requires protection from strong winds to prevent damage.
