The Yellow Trumpet Tree thrives in warm, tropical to subtropical climates with well-draining soil and at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to partially dry between waterings, and protect from frost. It produces spectacular golden-yellow blooms in late dry season and makes a stunning specimen or street tree.
