Comments:	A wonderful tree to look at, but this tree is unsuitable for typical urban areas. Without proper pruning, the Yellow Poinciana will overpower most urban settings. Surface roots, weak wood and high potential for wind throw, avoid this tree in most landscapes. Uses should be restricted to large, high-maintenance landscapes.
