Delonix Regia, commonly known as the Royal Poinciana or Flame Tree, is one of the most spectacular ornamental flowering trees, famous for its brilliant red-orange blooms and wide umbrella-shaped canopy.

It is widely planted as a shade and avenue tree in parks, resorts, and large landscape projects due to its dramatic seasonal flowering display.

Delonix regia thrives in full sun, tolerates heat and moderate drought once established, and grows best in well-drained soils. Its vibrant flowers and spreading crown make it a signature tree for tropical and subtropical landscapes.
