Tipu Tree
Tipuana Tipu
Overview
The Tipuana tipu, or Tipu Tree, is a fast-growing, semi-deciduous species reaching up to 50 feet tall with a 60-foot spread. Its fern-like foliage creates a dense canopy, accented by vibrant yellow blooms in summer. Hardy in USDA zones 9-11, it thrives in full sun and requires moderate water. Ideal for large spaces seeking shade and ornamental interest, but consider its invasive root system in urban settings.
