African Tulip Tree

Honeybees are attracted to the abundant nectar and pollen of this tree's showy red-orange flowers, but the floral rewards contain toxins that can harm or kill foraging bees. Peak bloom typically aligns with the dry season in tropical climates, offering a concentrated but short-lived resource. This fast-growing evergreen tree thrives in warm, humid conditions and may require pruning to maintain shape and prevent limb breakage.
