About Gulmohar (Delonix Regia)

• It is a fast-growing tree with an umbrella shaped, spreading crown with the long, nearly horizontal branches forming a diameter that is wider than the tree’s height.
• A middle-sized tree, Gulmohar likes a warm tropical climate and has disappeared from most of its ideal wild range in Madagascar (where the tree’s first lone specimen was found in 1828).
• Although the tree thrives in most soil conditions (though not in very dry or frosty conditions), it appears in most parts of Delhi-NCR, but it is not native to the land.
• It is a deciduous tree and begins to shed its leaves in November.
• The tree has a shallow-root system, which makes it quite vulnerable to damage in storms.
• It is listed as 'Least Concern' by IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
