Tabebuia rosea
Pink Poui, Pink Trumpet-tree
Origin to be documented
Tabebuia rosea, also called pink poui, Sakura Malaysia and rosy trumpet tree, is a neotropical tree that grows up to 30 m (98 ft) and can reach a diameter at breast height of up to 100 cm (3 ft). The Spanish name roble de sabana, meaning "savannah oak", is widely used in Costa Rica, probably because it often remains in heavily deforested areas and because of the resemblance of its wood to that of oak trees. It is the national tree of El Salvador, where it is called maquilíshuat.
Even though Tecoma trees are not originally native to Malaysia, they have adapted extremely well to the Southeast Asian climate, especially in Malaysia. Over time, they have become a familiar and iconic seasonal sight in many Malaysian towns and cities. Because of their stunning pink blooms that resemble cherry blossoms, they are locally known as “Malaysia Sakura.”
