Fast-growing evergreen shrub or small tree with an upright branching habit to 12-18’ tall and wide. This long-blooming species features lush dense-growing bright-green foliage accented with large clusters of spectacular trumpet-shaped yellow flowers that appear summer through winter followed by 8” long bean-like seed pods. Tolerates heat humidity and a variety of soil types and is well-suited as a focal point accent background or colorful screen. Can also be pruned into a small tree. Prefers regular watering in a full sun exposure.
