Native to continental The usa, Pink trumpet is a tall, fast-growing tree reaching 25 to 30 m high and 1 m d.b.h. The crown is wide, stratified, and irregular, with a couple of thick, horizontal branches; the bole is straight, once in a while channeled at base. Leaves are palmately divided into 5 unequal leaflets. The oval/oblong leaflets have a rough-to-touch surface, entire margin and a pointed tapering tip. The central leaflet is larger than the remainder. The leaflet size is variable between 3-18 inches. Flowering occurs between December and February, when the tree bursts into panicles of pink trumpet shaped flowers with yellow throats. In his up to date book Trees of Delhi, Pradip Krishen has identified it as Tabebuia impetiginosa. Alternatively, our remark concurs with the traditional view of Tabebuia rosea.
