The tree becomes deciduous in late winter prior to flowering, which occurs in spring and summer. Totally covered with orange/red flowers it is one of the most spectacular trees for a tropical style garden. Best grown in tropical and sub-tropical areas, but it can also be grown in warm temperate regions as well. Full sun and a loamy well drained soil are best.
