Tipuana tipu: characteristics and care
The Tipuana tipu, popularly known as tipuana or palo rosa, is a tree native to South America (Bolivia and Argentina) that is a semi-deciduous tree with a wide and extended crown that stands out for its light green pinnate foliage and its striking yellow-orange flowers, which appear in summer generously covering the crown.
Its broad canopy and dense shade make it a highly valued choice as a street and shade tree in avenues, parks and gardens in Mediterranean climates.
It tolerates drought well once established and adapts to different soil types, provided it has good drainage.
At Ornacom, we carefully select each plant for balanced growth, good structure and vigorous development.
