<p><i>Tabebuia rosea</i> requires a defined period of dry weather in order to blossom beautifully.</p> <p> The tree thrives in humid lowland forests in its natural habitat, but can also be found in upland dry forests and mangroves. Pollination occurs between trees with the help of bees, specifically carpenter and miner bees. Tabebuia rosea is known for its rapid growth as a pioneer species. There is concern that it may become invasive in certain countries where it has been introduced, although there have been no reports of it being invasive in Singapore despite the presence of casual seedlings.</p>
