Yellow Tecoma
Yellow Tecoma
Yellow Tecoma (Tecoma Stans) is considered a perennial shrub and its original habitat is the central tropical regions of America, western India, the Andes Mountains, and South America. It has spread in hot areas up to an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. Its height ranges from 2 meters to 4 meters. The flowers are large, tubular, yellow, found in dense terminal clusters (panicles), and appear in spring and autumn. The fruit is a long pod (legume) that reaches up to 12 cm in length and opens when the seeds mature. The leaves are light green with serrated edges, and it is cultivated for the beauty of its flowers.
Among the reasons for its widespread cultivation in hot regions are:
It tolerates drought and thrives in loose soil.
Evergreen and its flowers last up to eight months.
It grows quickly with upright branches, making it suitable as an independent shrub to decorate streets, gardens, and corners.
Resistant to sea breezes, so it can be planted near beaches.
It can be pruned and shaped as desired.
There is another type called Red Tecoma, with red flowers.
Caring for the Tecoma tree involves planting it in a hole with a diameter of half a meter, fertilized annually with decomposed organic fertilizer. When planting seedlings, it is preferable to prune damaged roots, then prune the shrub to stimulate growth and achieve the desired shape. Pruning helps eliminate infected and weak branches and allows light to reach the inner branches. Pruning is done in spring.
Propagation can be done by seeds, cuttings, or layering.
