A Royal Poinciana Tree Grows In Tiberias Israel

On our little adventure to Tiberius  to give my son one last hurrah at the end of his Succos vacation we made quite a few mistakes trying to reach our desired destination. One such mistake had us waiting at a bus stop in the middle of a little residential neighborhood, and me saying jokingly “the most important thing is that we get to spend this time together.” During this together time,I spotted a beautiful tree just across the street, a tropical tree mind you, the likes of which could never grow where we live, and so of course I had to take a few photos!

Upon returning home I had no problem locating the name of this tree, and it is called Royal Poinciana. Not a native to Israel, but rather Madagascar, but Israel is on the list of known countries worldwide where it grows today. The flowers are gorgeous and the leaves so pretty, now just gotta catch this tree in full bloom next time!

If you are looking for a tree for your tropical zone garden, consider this one! Ah yes, and it is actually a legume, namely a bean, go figure, and has large seed pods that look like you got it, peas!
