While living in Arcadia Florida, I had a tree like this no my property. It is a beautiful tree but drops twigs very frequently. Does anyone know the name of this tree??
Then it turns to these pod type things
the pods that look like paper Chinese lanterns. pretty cool

The flowery looking leaf looks like a Bougainvillea. I don't know if they get that big though.

Shame on us, it takes someone from Ohio to identify a Florida tree.

Those pics are actually a tree in my yard I was showing Gentle Bear. Its not a Royal Poinciana... its a Chinese Flame tree.

Chinese Flame Tree, Bougainvillea Golden Rain Tree, Southern Goldenraintree (Koelreuteria bipinnata)

Was not picking on you Fish, more that Ted said we should have known because we are Floridians,but it really is not native here, and everyone who imports it gives it a different name anyway and makes up their own story about it, and why it colors the way it does.

Description[edit]
The leaves are alternate, bipinnately compound leaves; with a ovate shape and a pinnate venation, they have a green color usually and turns yellow in fall, measuring between 5–10 cm long.
The flowers are small and yellow with a touch of red at the base, with four petals, produced in large branched panicles that are 20–50 cm long. They are very showy and have a pleasant fragrance. They flower in the summer from July to August; they are also hermaphrodite which mean they have both male and female organs.
The fruit is a three-lobed inflated papery capsule that is 3–6 cm long, containing several hard nut-like seeds that are 5–10 mm diameter with a pink color.
The bark is thin and brown, bends down a little as the tree grows, it might break due to poor collar formation, pruning is required to develop a strong structure, and also for the pedestrians and vehicles clearance if necessary. The tree is characterized as a weak wooded tree.
History & Location[edit]
The tree is Native to China; its discovery is credited to Pierre d'Incarville, a Jesuit missionary; who sent first seed from China to Russia in 1747. It was classified by Russian botanist Erich Laxmann who named it after Joseph Koelreuter, a contemporary and a professor of natural history at Karlsruhe. It was later grown in Europe by 1753 and reached America in 1811. Now, they grow mostly in China, Korea, Japan, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Israel and some parts of the United States (Eastern and Western coasts, and Southern States).

How to grow them[edit]
They grow in nutritionally poor soil including: clay, sand, well drained, alkaline, loam; they require full sun but not a lot of watering, with a moderate aerosol salt tolerance. They tolerate wind, air pollution, salt, heat, and drought. They grow moderately and are sometimes fast growers. They produce seeds that are blown away and get germinated and this might result in the growing of more trees next to the original one.
Pests and Diseases[edit]
The Koelreuteria bipinnata have little to no pests or disease threatening them. The bark of the tree might get affected from a canker that hits some of its areas. Also, coral pink bodies may develop on the diseased bark that will require pulling off the infected branches to keep the tree in good health.

Uses[edit]
Koelreuteria bipinnata are commonly used as focal points in landscape design in regions where they thrive; they are often used as street, highways, parking lots, shade, woodland garden or specimen trees. The seeds are used in beads in necklaces and the flowers are used in getting yellow dye. They are also used in treatments of conjunctivitis and epiphora.
