Hawaii Flowering Tree Guide
Royal Poinciana Tree
The Royal Poinciana tree brings fiery color to Hawaii landscapes with red, orange and yellow blooms over fern-like foliage. Native to Madagascar, this ornamental tree also produces long seed pods whose seeds can be used in lei.
Royal Poinciana Tree Overview
Royal Poinciana trees are small trees with fern fronds and when in bloom laden with red, orange and yellow flowers. In the winter months the fern fronds and flowers drop to the ground and the trees stand bare. The tree's flat beanpods hang from the tree year-round and are first green and then black in color. Their seeds are strung into lei. The tree is native to Madagascar.
