Schizolobium parahybum, known as the Yellow Jacaranda, the Brazilian Fire Tree or the Tower Tree, is a fast-growing tree
that originates from Brazil and Mexico and grows to about 40m tall.
It has green, ferny foliage and in spring a profusion of yellow,
pea-shaped flowers in spikes 30cm long. It looks much like a cross between a yellow flowering jacaranda and a
tree fern as it has ferny leaves and an umbrella shape.
The tree looses its large leaves in spring just before
flowering occurs. The leaves, which can be up to 2 metres long are
supposedly the largest compound leaves in the world.
This tropical tree is best
suited to areas north of Brisbane, however it can be grown in some of
the cooler zones (such as Sydney and Perth) in a warm microclimate.
