White-cedar
Tabebuia heterophylla
White-cedar is a stunning Caribbean native tree prized for its showy pink trumpet flowers and tolerance of coastal conditions including salt spray and drought once established. Plant in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil, and water regularly during the first two years to encourage deep root development. This fast-growing tree makes an excellent specimen or street tree in frost-free climates (USDA zones 10-11).
