Growing up to 30 metres (98 ft) in height and 20 metres (66 ft) wide, #Tipuanatipu is well known for its use as a shade tree.

It’s South American in origin.

The reason why I featured this gorgeous specimen today is that it is sooo healthy. Despite the warm month we’ve had (mid-summer), it has withstood the challenges of all that comes with a #melbourne summer.

The great thing is that this will flower (yellows!) later this month, early next.

A pic of what’s to come (pic 4) is sourced from wiki.
