TABEBUIA TREE

Background

Climate issues into the world because the conversation Global Warming. Impact caused that oxygen levels in the earth's dwindling, the amount of pollution, and increase the volume of ocean water on Earth. Quoted from Japantoday.com, according to NOAA, the first seven months in 2015 was the hottest month in the history of the earth. Average temperatures reach 58,43F (14.7 C), 1.53 degrees higher than the temperature in the 20th century and six levels hotter than in 2010.

Steps taken to reduce global warming one of them with the planting of trees or reforestation of denuded forests, riverbanks, along roads, and urban forest. In Indonesia alone, Tabebuia tree derived from the Brazilian State is often the choice for reforestation. In addition to growing rapidly and can live in dry weather, this tree has a beautiful flower.

Tabebuia flowers are blooming throughout the year. When the rainy season Tabebuia flowers bloom only a makeshift. Meanwhile, when the dry season arrives, will Tabebuia flowers are blooming and the leaves will fall. So the sights along the way and angle of Indonesia will be colored by this beautiful flower.

Tabebuia tree is generally called Trumpet Tree produces flower 3-11 cm long, trumpet-shaped and clustered. Tabebuia have a high survival in dry conditions. Each species of Tabebuia tree has a different color. The types of trees, among others: Tabebuia Rosea (pink and red), Tabebuia chrysotricha (yellow), Tabebuia aurea (white), and Tabebuia magenta.

With the above problems, we raised the issue of Global Warming by providing solutions Tabebuia tree planting. Citizen diplomacy Our goal is to popularize this Tabebuia tree as the first choice into a plant reforestation along the highway in Indonesia. We want to sensitize the people of Indonesia that the presence of trees that many in Indonesia could be a new potential for Indonesia. If this action is successful, Indonesia would be known worldwide as the pioneer reforestation activities that also beautify the environment to reduce Global Warming. The impression received by migrants abroad also recognize Indonesia synonymous with Tabebuia trees. As is the case with Japan which is identical with Sakura flowers that bloom when spring.

MANY TYPES OF TABEBUIA TREE

1. Tabebuia Chrysotrica (tah-bee-BOO-ee.uh.krye-so-TRIKE-uh)

Tabebuia chrysotricha, commonly known as the golden trumpet tree, is an evergreen tree from Brasil. It is very similar to and often confused with Tabebuia ochracea. In Portuguese it is called "ipê amarelo" and is considered the national tree of Brasil.

Species characteristics:
Form - Briefly deciduous, sometimes evergreen. Small to medium sized tree growing to 25 - 30'. Irregular in shape when young, becoming rounded and spreading with age.
Trunk - Smooth, thin, light gray bark with narrow linear markings.

Foliage - Palmately compound leaves have five leaflets, 2 - 4" long and 1/2" wide, with pubescence on the undersides. Young twigs and flower buds are also covered with cream-colored fuzz.
Flowers/fruit - Showy, deep yellow 3 - 4" trumpet shaped flowers are borne on graceful, wide-spreading branches in early spring (March-April) during brief deciduous period. Sometimes blooms at other times, when leaves are present. There is a red stripe on the throat of the flowers which develop in increasingly dense clusters with maturity. Fruits are borne in skinny pods
8 - 9 1/2" long and less than 1/2" wide. Small 1/4" bean-like seeds disperse from the opened pods in late summer, followed by the twisted empty pods which drop by early fall.
No significant pest problems are known at this time.

Site suitability:
Sunset zones - 15, 16, and 20- 24. Hardy to 25°.
Clearances - Suitable for 3' minimum parkways, medians or 4' cutouts. Suitable under utility lines.

Good for street sides, medians, parks and lawns.

Culture considerations:
Grows best in full sun, prefers well-drained soils, best growth with regular watering and fertilizing. Drought tolerant when established.

Overview:
This species is distributed from southern México, to Venezuela and Ecuador. It has been found growing from sealevel to 1,200 m (3,937 ft), in temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 30 °C on average, with annual rainfall above 500 mm, and on soils with very variable pH.
The tree crown is wide, with irregular, stratified ramification and only few thick branches. The bark can be gray to brown, in varying darkness and may be vertically fissured. Leaves are compound, digitate and deciduous. Each leaf has five leaflets of variable size, the middle one being the largest. Flowering occurs mainly in January and February, and is generally associated with dry periods; although flowering has also been observed in August, September, April and May. Flowers are large, in various tones of pink to purple, and appear while the tree has none, or very few, leaves. Pollination occurs probably by insects, although the flowers are visited by many birds such as tanagers, hummingbirds and orioles. The long and slender fruit capsules can measure up to 35 cm (14 in) and appear from February through April. After the drying fruit dehisces, the anemochorous, hyaline-membrane-winged seeds are released. There are an average of 45,000 seeds per kg with up to 13% water content. Germination of seeds is extremely easy and efficient, reaching almost 100%. It is a fairly fast growing tree^.
This tree is often seen in Neotropical cities, where it is often planted in parks and gardens. In the rainy season it offers great shadeand, in the dry season, abundant flowers are present on the defoliated trees.

Medicinal uses :
Preparations of the cortex of the tree are consumed to eliminate intestinal parasites, malaria and uterine cancer. A decoction of the cortex is recommended for anemia and constipation. A decoction of the flowers, leaves and roots has been used to reduce fevers and pain, cause sweating, to treat tonsil inflammation and various other disorders.

Among the various active phytochemicals in the tree is lapachol, a natural organic compound isolated from various other Tabebuia species. Chemically, it is a derivative of naphthoquinone, related to vitamin K. Once studied as a possible treatment for some types of cancer, lapachol's potential is now considered low due to its toxic side effects.Lapachol also has antimalarial and antipanasomal effects.

2. Tabebuia Rosea

Tabebuia rosea, also called pink poui, and rosy trumpet tree is a neotropical tree that grows up to 30 m (1,181 in) and can reach a diameter at breast height of up to 100 cm (3 ft). The name Roble de Sabana, meaning "savannah oak", is widely used in Costa Rica in Spanish, probably because it often remains in heavily deforested areas, where people appreciate its intense flowering periods and because of the resemblance of its wood to that of oak trees.^[3] It is the national tree of El Salvador.

Overview
This species is distributed from southern México, to Venezuela and Ecuador. It has been found growing from sealevel to 1,200 m (3,937 ft), in temperatures ranging from 20 °C to 30 °C on average, with annual rainfall above 500 mm, and on soils with very variable pH.

3. Tabebuia Aurea

Tabebuia aurea is a species of Tabebuia native to South America in Suriname, Brazil, eastern Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, and northern Argentina. The common English name Caribbean trumpet tree is misleading, as it is not native to the Caribbean. It is also known as the silver trumpet tree, and tree of gold.

Description
It is a small dry season-deciduous tree growing to 8 m tall. The leaves are palmately compound, with five or seven leaflets, each leaflet 6–18 cm long, green with silvery scales both above and below.
The flowers are bright yellow, up to 6.5 cm diameter, produced several together in a loose panicle. The fruit is a slender 10 cm long capsule.

Cultivation
It is a popular ornamental tree in subtropical and tropical regions, grown for its spectacular flower display on leafless shoots at the end of the dry season.

Ecology
This species presence in riparian areas of the Caatinga of northeastern Brazil is a crucial resource for Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii), which is extinct in the wild with fewer than 100 birds remaining in captivity. Any future reintroduction would have to provide sufficient T. aurea for nesting and other purposes - while the tree is not considered threatened on a global scale, locally it has declined due to unsustainable use for timber.

Cultivation Details
This tree is found in a wide variety of habitats - forms from the north of its range succeed in marshy or seasonally inundated soils whilst forms from the south grow in well-drained, seasonally very dry soils. Growing wild in harsh conditions, it may develop 'rubbery' growth and become unstable in overly fertile soil.Freshly planted young trees are slow to establish and grow away.

4. Tabebuia Serratifolia

Tabebuia serratifolia, commonly known as Yellow Lapacho, Pau D'arco , Yellow Poui, Yellow Ipe, Pau D'arco Amarelo, or ipê-amarelo.

Description
It is a tree native to forests throughout Central and South America. This plant grows in the Cerrado vegetation of Brazil, reaching up to French Guiana, Bolivia, Paraguay and Northern Argentina.
It is one of the largest and strongest of tropical forest trees, growing up to 150 feet (46 m) tall while the base can be 4–7 feet (1.2–2.1 m) in diameter.

Uses
It is a commercially farmed hardwood notable for its extreme hardness and resistance to fire and pests. It is sometimes traded as an "ironwood", or just as "ipê" (the entire genus Tabebuia), or as lapacho (properly Tabebuia serratifolia)

Medicinal
The bark of Tabebuia serratifolia contains more than 20 active compounds including lapachol, quercetin and other flavonoids. Its inner bark is used as an herbal tea, for treatment of fungal infections.
