The Peltophorum tree, popularly known as the Copperpod or Yellow Flame Tree, is a striking ornamental species that brightens entire landscapes with its brilliant clusters of golden-yellow flowers. In full bloom, the tree becomes a dazzling spectacle, often lining roads, gardens, and parks with showers of yellow petals. Its wide, spreading crown with delicate, fern-like leaves provides generous shade, making it a natural choice for avenues and public spaces. Reaching up to 15–25 meters in height, Peltophorum combines elegance with utility, offering beauty and comfort in equal measure.
Importance of the Tree: A Versatile Marvel
The importance of the Peltophorum tree goes far beyond its vibrant floral display. Ecologically, its blossoms attract bees, butterflies, and birds, creating mini-ecosystems wherever it is planted. Its dense canopy helps reduce urban heat and purifies the air, while its roots aid in soil stabilization and prevent erosion. Often called the “Yellow Gulmohar” for its similarity in shape and canopy to Gulmohar, Peltophorum is more drought-tolerant, making it ideal for greening arid and degraded landscapes. Its wood is also valued locally for fuel and small-scale carpentry. Symbolically, the tree represents vitality and resilience, often planted as a living reminder of strength in community spaces.
